US Regulator Investigates Effectiveness of Tesla's Autopilot Recall

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has been investigating Tesla's Autopilot system and has recently opened a query into the recall conducted by the company in December. The recall involved over 2 million vehicles, nearly all of which were sold at the time. The agency is concerned that Tesla's remedy may not have been sufficient to address safety concerns, as there have been reports of 20 crashes involving vehicles that received the company's over-the-air software update. Additionally, Tesla has reported additional crashes involving Autopilot since the recall was conducted.
