Investigation reveals Tesla’s Autopilot, Full Self-Driving linked to hundreds of crashes, dozens of deaths

An investigation carried out by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has revealed that Tesla’s Autopilot and Full Self-Driving are linked to hundreds of crashes and dozens of deaths in the United States of America.

The NHTSA found out that Tesla’s driver-assist features are insufficient at keeping drivers engaged in the task of driving, which can often have fatal results.

The agency looked into 956 crashes in total, beginning in January 2018 and continuing until August 2023. 29 people lost their lives in those collisions, some of which included other cars colliding with the Tesla.
