Overview

• T​he National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says Tesla’s Full Self-Driving has induced behavior that violated traffic safety laws.
• NHTSA cites six crashes in which vehicles with FSD ran red lights, with four of those incidents resulting in injuries.
• The agency has logged 18 complaints and one media report alleging intersection failures, including rolling or incomplete stops and incorrect signal detection.
• Some complainants reported the system did not warn of its intended actions as vehicles approached red lights.
• Tesla did not immediately respond to requests for comment, and the new inquiry follows a 2024 probe into FSD performance in reduced-visibility conditions.
