According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration or the NHTSA, there have been actualy evaluations looking into the faultiness found within the Tesla Autopilot systems. Amazingly enough, this shows plenty of ways the driver assistance technology has been able to work in order to “monitor, assist, and enforce the driver’s engagement with driving while Autopilot is in use.” In total, the NHTSA has been able to spot about 11 crashes to occur in about nine states. Yet, the 765,000 different models of these electric vehicles by Tesla run the risk of going through a recall for safety’s sake. The actual evaluation is really just making sure that the crashes weren’t able to top while the Tesla models themselves were on Autopilot or perhaps Traffic Aware Cruise Control engaged.
NHTSA says: “No commercially available motor vehicles today are capable of driving themselves.”
A preliminary evaluation is up-to-date in the sense that the agency has a better opportunity. In an effort to comprehend 11 Tesla crashes occurring since 2018. The NHTSA has mentioned before to not really take these cars very seriously. And you would have to be an idiot not to agree with that. To be able to program a car to drive by itself and without an accident is totally ridiculous. NHTSA is essentially collecting intel on how Tesla had their Traffic-Aware Cruise Control and Autopilot technologies work for the better.
Of course, they have been curious on multiple occasions.
Back in 2019, the NHTSA asked Tesla for more information for how the automaker would respond. This in regards to fires occurring in vehicles. Then, in 2020, there was the issue of immediate acceleration in their vehicles. Other aspects of these vehicles have come into play and affected the agency’s judgment of Elon Musk’s brainchild. It’s pretty wild to think about but the NHTSA is actually doing all they can to warn Tesla. In an effort that maybe they shouldn’t be the biggest automaker in the world. The NHTSA is likely to stop Tesla’s self-driving efforts for the time being. Hopefully, we won’t see those automobiles out on the road until they’re safe.
