Tesla braking issues spur second U.S. probe related to Autopilot

LA Times  

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened its second investigation of possible defects related to Tesla Inc.’s Autopilot, subjecting more scrutiny to the carmaker’s driver assistance technology. “While it’s encouraging to see NHTSA’s recent enforcement actions after years of turning the other way, Tesla continues to release software onto U.S. roads that is not tested and validated to assure safe performance,” said Michael Brooks, acting executive director and chief counsel of the Center for Auto Safety. “A piecemeal investigative approach to each problem that raises its head does not address the larger issue in Tesla’s safety culture — the company’s continued willingness to beta test its technology on the American public while misrepresenting the capabilities of its vehicles.” NHTSA opened its latest investigation two weeks after announcing it was reviewing complaints that Teslas were suddenly braking at high speeds. “Complainants report that the rapid deceleration can occur without warning, at random, and often repeatedly in a single drive cycle.” NHTSA said it will “determine the scope and severity of the potential problem” and “fully assess the potential safety-related issues.” After NHTSA opened the inquiry into how Teslas on Autopilot handles crash scenes, the company beamed an over-the-air update to its vehicles that sought to improve how the system detects police cars and firetrucks.
