360 summary
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is investigating 12 reported crashes linked to Tesla's Smart Summon technology, which enables drivers to remotely summon their cars or direct them to another location using a smartphone app.
The NHTSA has accused Tesla of failing to report any Smart Summon or Actually Smart Summon crashes through the Standing General Order for crashes involving automated driving systems or advanced driver assist systems, which requires reporting of crashes on publicly accessible roads.
Tesla avoided losing its robotaxi operating license by telling regulators that their cars are not robotaxis and require human drivers to operate, unlike tech startup Cruise which lost its license in October 2023 due to a similar reporting lapse.
