The United States government said Monday it's opened a formal investigation into Tesla's "Autopilot," or partially automated driving system, after a series of crashes with parked emergency vehicles.



The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said it has identified 11 crashes since 2018 in which Teslas on Autopilot or Traffic Aware Cruise Control have hit vehicles with flashing lights, flares, an illuminated arrow board or cones warning of hazards.



The investigation covers 765,000 vehicles — or nearly every car that Tesla, the Elon Musk-led electric car company, has sold in the US since the start of the 2014 model year, including the Models Y, X, S and 3, the agency said.



"The investigation will assess the technologies and methods used to monitor, assist and enforce the driver's engagement with the dynamic driving task during Autopilot operation," the NHTSA said in its investigation documents.



The investigation by the NHTSA could lead to a recall or other enforcement action.

I don't trust any vehicle with autopilot, ICE or electric.

Agreed, but my impression is that they are being used mainly for electric powered

Remember a woman was struck and killed by a driverless car. I believe it was in California.

I wouldn't feel comfortable driving if I saw a lot of cars without drivers on the road.

Total Recall]



If you've been paying attention to the EV industry, you'll know that Chevrolet has just issued a recall of the Bolt EV. It's the third Bolt recall that's taken place over the past several months, and they're all related to a string of battery fires.



The big thing is that this recall is far more encompassing than the last two. The earlier events focussed on a handful of Bolt models, but this time Chevrolet has issued a recall of every single Bolt and Bolt EUV. And that's arguably the absolute worst thing to happen to the electric car industry right now.

And GM is going after the battery company for a billion in damages.

That makes sense. It is a battery problem.



At the same time, will anyone ever be able to make a trustworthy & safe battery?

https://blazingcatfur.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Tesla-attacks-police-car-Orlando.jpg">



A Tesla driving on "autopilot" mode hit a Florida Highway Patrol cruiser on Interstate 4 early Saturday morning and nearly hit an FHP trooper who was standing outside the cruiser, an FHP spokeswoman said.



FHP Lt. Kim Montes said the trooper had stopped shortly before 5 a.m. to help a disabled vehicle in the westbound lanes of I-4 near downtown Orlando. The trooper activated his emergency lights and got out to help the driver when the Tesla hit the left side of his cruiser and then hit the disabled vehicle, Montes said. The Tesla "narrowly missed" the trooper, Montes said.

I posted an article recently about these monsters becoming confused with police/ fire flashers & ramming them quite a lot



All such incidents were potentially dangerous & luckily never hurt anyone, this one almost killed an Officer
