WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The chairman of the National Transportation Safety Board on Tuesday criticized Tesla Inc ‘s lack of system safeguards in a fatal March 2018 California Autopilot crash and U.S. regulators “scant oversight.”
NTSB chairman Robert Sumwalt said Tesla – unlike five other auto manufacturers – has ignored safety recommendations issued in 2017. “It’s been 881 days since these recommendations were sent to Tesla. We’re still waiting,” Sumwalt said at a hearing to determine the crash’s probable cause.
Tesla’s driver assistance system Autopilot is tied to at least three deadly crashes since 2016.
