It is reported that due toTeslaThe National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) wrote to Tesla, Inc. today for detailed information on "how Tesla, Inc. 's Autopilot system detects and responds to emergency vehicles parked on the road" after another electric car collided with a police car.

NHTSA announced a formal investigation into Tesla, Inc. 's semi-autopilot system "Autopilot" on Aug. 16, saying it was difficult to identify "emergency response vehicles" parked on the road. NHTSA said it had identified 11 related crashes since 2018. In these accidents, Tesla, Inc. 's car, which turns on the Autopilot function, collided with "emergency response vehicles", including police cars and dangerous goods vehicles.

Last Saturday, a Tesla, Inc. Model 3 electric car crashed into a parked police car on an interstate near Orlando, Florida, nearly injuring a police officer. So far, the number of accidents in which Tesla, Inc. 's car collided with "emergency response vehicles" reached 12. At least 17 people were injured and one was killed in these crashes.

In the 11-page letter, released today, NHTSA wants to know how Tesla, Inc. detected the crash site, including flares, road flares, reflective vests worn by responders and vehicles parked on the road. In addition, NHTSA wants to know how the Autopilot system responds to low-light conditions, what action it will take if an emergency vehicle appears, and how it warns drivers.

The survey, launched by NHTSA last month, covers Model Y, Model X, Model S and Model 3 models from 2014 to 2021. Tesla, Inc. 's Autopilot function is often abused by car owners, such as drunk driving and even sitting in the back seat when the car is driving into the highway. Tesla, Inc. and other automakers have been warning drivers that while using the "semi-automatic driving assistance system", they must be prepared to intervene at any time.

Tesla, Inc. CEO Elon Musk (Elon Musk) said last month that Tesla Vision, the vision solution used by Tesla, Inc. 's self-driving car, could quickly detect turn signals, hazard signals, police and ambulance lights and even gestures from other vehicles. This means that Tesla, Inc. 's autopilot system can respond to "emergency response vehicles" when needed.
