A big speed breaker for Elon Musk founded EV major Tesla as regulators in the United States have launched a formal investigation into its autopilot system. To put it simply, Tesla is under investigation because its cars keep hitting emergency vehicles.
11 accidents involving Tesla cars using autopilot have resulted in a crash with emergency vehicles when coming upon the scene of an earlier crash. These accidents have resulted in 17 injuries and one death.
The investigation covers an estimated 765,000 vehicles across models built between 2014 and 2021.
