The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has upgraded its probe after finding more instances of Tesla’s driving software struggling in low-visibility conditions.
The company is also currently facing a 30-day suspension of its manufacturing and dealer licenses in California for deceptive marketing about Autopilot’s capabilities.
Lemonade says it worked with Tesla to gain access to previously-restricted vehicle telemetry data, but declined to offer specifics.
It’s a huge change to Tesla’s approach with FSD, and it could impact Musk’s $1T pay package and the company’s myriad legal troubles.
The judge ruled Tesla should have to suspend manufacturing and sales in California for 30 days, but the DMV stayed those rulings for 90 days to allow Tesla to comply.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has identified at least 80 incidents.
Texting while driving is banned in nearly every state, even with the use of advanced driver assistance systems like Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (Supervised) software.
The U.S.’ top auto safety agency said it had identified more than 50 reports of FSD running red lights, crossing yellow lines, or making illegal turns.
