WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. auto safety regulators said on Thursday they are seeking updated responses and current data for an ongoing probe into 830,000 Tesla (NASDAQ:) vehicles and the automaker’s advanced driver assistance system Autopilot. <\/p>\n

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) sent Tesla a letter on July 3 seeking updates to questions it had asked in August 2022 and is now demanding answers by July 19, according to a copy of the letter made public by the agency.<\/p>\n

Tesla did not respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n

The agency is investigating the performance of Autopilot after identifying more than a dozen crashes in which Tesla vehicles struck stopped emergency vehicles. It is also investigating whether Tesla vehicles adequately ensure drivers are paying attention when using the driver assistance system.<\/p>\n

Autopilot is intended to enable cars to steer, accelerate and brake automatically within their lane, while enhanced Autopilot can assist in changing lanes on highways. Tesla’s Full Self-Driving Capability Features enables vehicles to obey traffic signals and stop signs but does not make them autonomous.<\/p>\n

NHTSA has said evidence had raised questions about the effectiveness of Tesla’s alert strategy, which seeks to compel driver attention.<\/p>\n

The agency said in 2022 nine of 11 vehicles in prior crashes exhibited no driver engagement, or visual or chime alerts, until the last minute preceding a collision, while four showed no visual or chime alerts at all during the final Autopilot use cycle.<\/p>\n

The letter asks for updates on all Tesla changes related to driver engagement or attentiveness.<\/p>\n

In June 2022, NHTSA upgraded the probe it first opened in August 2021 to an engineering analysis – a required step before it could potentially demand a recall.<\/p>\n

NHTSA previously sought information about cabin camera – a camera located above the rear view mirror – that Tesla says can determine driver inattentiveness and provide audible alerts to remind the driver to keep their eyes on the road when Autopilot is engaged.<\/p>\n

The new letter, asks for data on the number of vehicles with “Tesla Vision” – equipped with cameras only and not radar – and if vehicles have the cabin camera system.<\/p>\n

Since 2016, NHTSA has opened 40 Tesla special crash investigations where advanced driver assistance systems such as Autopilot were suspected of being used with 20 crash deaths reported.<\/p>\n

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said in May there are real concerns about the interaction between Autopilot and drivers. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
