The United States investigates Tesla’s self-propelled software after a collision

The The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is investigating Tesla’s self-driving software after someone filed a complaint that a car caused a crash while in use.

In a complaint filed on Monday, a driver said he was beta testing a “Full Self-Driving” 2021 Tesla Model Y small SUV for Tesla when it caused a crash on a highway, The Associated Press reported.

“The car went into the wrong lane and I was hit by another driver in the lane next to my lane,”[ads1]; the driver said, describing an accident on November 3.

The driver said in the complaint that he was trying to take control of the vehicle when he realized that it was changing lanes, but Tesla “forced itself into the wrong lane, creating an unsafe maneuver that put everyone involved in danger.”

It is not clear where the accident happened. No one was injured, although the car was seriously damaged.

A spokesman for the government body said in a statement to the AP that they are working with Tesla to get more information about the crash.

NHSTA has previously asked Tesla for more information about the beta testing for its self-driving cars, according to the AP.

NHSTA opened a formal investigation into another Tesla driving software, Autopilot, in August following a series of accidents involving Tesla drivers and emergency vehicles. Last month, the agency questioned Tesla’s decision not to recall vehicles after the company released an update that resolved a previous security flaw with the Autopilot software.

The Hill has contacted NHTSA and Tesla for comments.
