NHTSA to Investigate Alleged Speeding by Tesla's Robotaxis in School Zones
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has announced it will investigate a claim that Tesla’s Cybercab and Model Y vehicles using its Automated Driving System may exceed speed limits in active school zones. The Office of Defects Investigation disclosed the probe following a petition alleging safety concerns with Tesla's autonomous driving technology. The investigation raises questions about the reliability and compliance of Tesla's self-driving systems, particularly as it relates to adhering to local traffic regulations such as reduced speeds near schools. This could impact public perception of the company’s advanced driver-assistance features and regulatory approval for full autonomy deployment in the U.S. Tesla has not yet publicly responded to the allegations or confirmed details about its system's behavior in school zones.
