NHTSA launches investigation into Tesla Cybercab

According to GIGAZINE, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) began an investigation shortly after Tesla launched its Cybercab robotaxi service in Austin, Texas.

What happened

GIGAZINE reported that NHTSA announced an audit inquiry into whether the Cybercab complies with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS). The investigation will examine the basis for Tesla’s self-certification that the Cybercab complies with FMVSS and whether the company determined that any specific requirements did not apply.
