US opens another Tesla probe, latest focused on tech that remotely returns car to driver

Associated Press  

NEW YORK — U.S. regulators have opened an investigation into 2.6 million Teslas after reports of crashes involving the use of company technology that allows drivers to remotely command their vehicle to return to them, or move to another location, using a phone app. The new investigation follows another probe launched in October looking into the company’s “Full Self-Driving” system after getting reports of crashes in low-visibility conditions, including one that killed a pedestrian. One driver filed a complaint after a crash while using Tesla’s “Actually Smart Summon” technology and NHTSA is looking into another three similar incidents based on media reports, the NHTSA said. Regulators say the vehicles struck objects because the users had “too little reaction time to avoid a crash, either with the available line of sight or releasing the phone app button, which stops the vehicle’s movement.” Shares of Tesla Inc., based in Austin, Texas, slid more than 4% in late afternoon trading Tuesday. The new probe covers 2016-2025 Model S and X vehicles, 2017-2025 Model 3, 2020-2025 Model Y equipped with Tesla’s Full Self-Driving driver assistance system.
