Federal transportation regulators have opened an investigation into Tesla's (TSLA) moves to res𝕴olve concerns about the electric vehicle (EV) maker's Autཧopilot self-driving system. 

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) announced its Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) was launching a “Recall Query” because of concerns about “post-remedy crash events and results from preliminary NHTSA tests of remedied vehicles.”

Tesla agreed to the recall of some 2 million EVs in December following a series of 13 ꦯaccidents, causing at least one fatality. Officials said “foreseeable driver misuse of the system played an 💖apparent role” in those incidents.

Tesla had explained that an over-the-air software fix resolved the issues. However, NHTSA pointed out that the carmaker “has stated that a portion of the remedy both requires the owner to opt in and allows a driver to readily reverse it,” and that Tesla provided “non-remedy” updates. Officials noted the probe was initiated "to further evaluate the adequacy of the remedy for recall." 

Last week, Tesla ordered a 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:voluntary recall of almost 4,000 Cybertrucks because of an issue with the accꦉelerator pedal.
