“Criminal investigation into Tesla over self-driving claims”

“Criminal investigation into Tesla over self-driving claims”

Tesla is under criminal investigation in the US for claiming its cars can drive themselves. Anonymous sources report this to the Reuters news agency. The investigation has not yet been made public but has been ongoing since last year, according to Reuters.

The Justice Department launched the investigation after dozens of accidents involving Teslas occurred, some of which were fatal. The automatic steering was activated in these accidents, sources report to the news agency.

“Keep your hands on the wheel”

The company has been promoting the possibilities of the so-called autopilot system since 2016. Founder Elon Musk said that year that the system “probably works better” than a human driver. But the question is whether these claims are correct.

In California, an investigation into the allegations is already underway by the National Safety Inspectorate. In this condition, a driver who had used automatic steering was killed in 2018. Tesla then explained that the system was not intended for fully autonomous control. Motorists must keep their hands on the wheel.
