NHTSA’s full final investigation into Tesla’s Autopilot shows 40% crash
rate reduction
The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has released its
full findings following the investigation into last year’s fatal crash
involving a driver’s use of Tesla’s semi-autonomous Autopilot feature.
The report clears Tesla’s Autopilot system of any fault in the incident,
and in fact at multiple points within the report praises its design in
terms of safety, and highlights its impact on lowering the number of
traffic incidents involving Tesla vehicles overall.
The full report is embedded below, but some sections of note include a
section where NHTSA notes that crash rates involving Tesla cars have
dropped by almost 40 percent since the wide introduction of Autopilot. It
also notes that its investigation did not find any defects in the design
or implementation of Tesla’s automatic emergency braking systems (AEB)
or its Autopilot cruise features. The report also states that Tesla
properly anticipated the potential for driver misuse in the design of
Autopilot, studied those potential effects and incorporated it into the
product’s final design before broad rollout.
It’s essentially as good as result as Tesla can have hoped for from the
U.S. traffic safety agency’s investigation, which took place over the
last six months. Reuters reported earlier on Thursday that the
investigation would not result in a recall of Tesla vehicles, but the
full findings show that in fact, the federal regulatory body found plenty
to praise while conducting its inquiry.
The investigation does conclude with a minor admonition that Tesla could
perhaps be more specific about its system limitations in its
driver-assist features, but acknowledges that all required information is
present and available to drivers and vehicle owners.
