The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is in contact with Tesla following reports of its newly launched driverless cars allegedly breaking traffic regulations in Austin, Texas. On the first day of testing on public roads, videos surfaced showing erratic driving, including abrupt stops and swerving into the wrong lane. While Tesla touted the launch as a significant milestone for its robotaxi project, limited operational scope and comparison to competitors like Waymo indicate room for improvement. The rollout is restricted to 12 taxis, and several operational limitations are in place.
The footage shared online of Tesla's driverless cars reportedly breaking traffic laws has prompted the NHTSA to reach out to Tesla for clarification on these incidents.
Musk highlighted the launch of Tesla's robotaxis as the culmination of a decade worth of work, despite the launch being relatively low key with limited participants.
