NHTSA reviews Tesla robotaxi school-zone speeding petition
What happened
On October 15, reports said the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) began reviewing a defect investigation petition. The petition alleges about 1,000 Tesla Model Y robotaxis and Cybercabs sped in school zones while speed limits were in effect, cites four incidents and links three videos, and mentions no crashes or injuries. NHTSA must review the allegations within 120 days and decide whether to open a formal investigation. The petition is still under review; accepting it does not mean the vehicles broke the law or that the driving system is defective.
