Tesla faces US auto-safety scrutiny over new Smart Summon feature; active probe on crash concerns

Live Mint  

-- Tesla Inc. is under federal scrutiny over concerns that a newly released driver-assistance feature could result in crashes, the latest move by auto-safety regulators to investigate the electric-car maker’s technology. The US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a preliminary evaluation of about 2.6 million Tesla vehicles after reports of issues with a feature known as “Actually Smart Summon.” The agency said in documents posted on its website that it received one complaint alleging that the system resulted in a crash and reviewed media reports of at least three other similar incidents. Actually Smart Summon, which was rolled out late last year, allows owners to move their vehicles remotely in parking lots or other locations using a smartphone app. That came on top of a recall query NHTSA opened in April into whether Tesla had done enough to keep drivers from misusing another set of assistance features the company markets as Autopilot.
