Overview
- NHTSA’s Office of Defects Investigation began a preliminary evaluation covering roughly 2.88–2.9 million vehicles equipped with FSD (Supervised) or FSD (Beta).
- The agency has 58 reports tied to FSD behavior, including more than a dozen crashes, 23 injuries and some fires, with no fatalities cited in this review.
- Six incidents involved Teslas entering intersections against red lights and crashing, four with reported injuries, with multiple cases at a Joppa, Maryland intersection that Tesla says it has addressed.
- Complaints describe the software running red lights, attempting lane changes into opposing traffic and proceeding straight from turn-only lanes as drivers reported little notice to take over.
- Investigators will evaluate detection of signals and lane markings, driver warnings and performance at railroad crossings, and could seek a software recall if an unreasonable safety risk is found.
