Overview
- NHTSA filings list three Tesla robotaxi crashes in Austin, all dated July 1, with one minor injury and two property‑damage reports.
- Tesla blacked out the narrative sections of all three reports, leaving key context about fault, conditions, and system behavior unavailable.
- The incidents occurred during an invite‑only pilot using roughly 10–20 modified Model Y vehicles staffed with an onboard safety monitor.
- By late July the pilot had logged about 7,000 operational miles, according to company disclosures, with no published data demonstrating software safety.
- Regulatory scrutiny is ongoing, including an NHTSA audit of Tesla’s crash reporting, with additional review of possible misreporting reported by Electrek.
