U.S. Regulator Opens Probe Into Tesla’s Full Self‑Driving After Reported Red‑Light and Wrong‑Lane Errors

The inquiry centers on how the Level 2 driver‑assist software handles traffic rules under human supervision.

Overview

  • NHTSA is reviewing 58 reported incidents tied to FSD performance, with 23 injuries and no fatalities.
  • Six cases allege Teslas entered intersections on red, with several reported at the same Maryland crossing.
  • Investigators plan to evaluate FSD’s recognition of signs, lane guidance, and adherence to traffic control.
  • The probe potentially covers about 2.9 million U.S. Teslas equipped with FSD, according to published reports.
  • Tesla continues public trials, including Austin robotaxi rides with a passenger‑seat safety monitor, where recorded traffic violations have been documented.
