Written By Attorney Neil T. O’Donnell

The National Highway Safety Administration, in a filing dated Tuesday, October 7, 2025, reported 58 incidents of Tesla autonomous vehicles violating traffic safety laws while in full self-driving mode. Many of the Tesla drivers stated that car gave no warning about unexpected behaviors.

In August, 2025, a Miami jury found Tesla partly responsible for a deadly 2019 crash in Florida while in “auto pilot driver assist” mode (which is different than full self-driving). The jury verdict was in the amount of $240 million.

This new investigation covers 2.8 million vehicles 

Essentially all Teslas equipped with Full Self-Driving technology (“FSD”). This investigation follows other probes into the FSD features on Teslas which has been blamed for several injuries and deaths. Tesla has repeatedly stated that the system cannot drive itself and human drivers must be ready to intervene at all times.

Tesla is also under investigation by the National Highway Transportation Safety Agency (NHTSA) for its “summon technology” that allows drivers to tell their cars to drive to their locations to pick them up – a feature that has reportedly led to parking lot collisions.

There are particular problems in low visibility conditions – including one case in which a pedestrian was killed.

Tesla is under pressure to demonstrate it has corrected these defects. In the meantime, Tesla promises to put hundreds of thousands of self-driving Tesla cars and Tesla robo-taxis on roads by the end of 2026.
