NHTSA Probes 2.6 Million Tesla Vehicles Over 'Actually Smart Summon' Feature Crashes
Jan 7, 2025, 08:00 PM
The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has initiated a preliminary evaluation into approximately 2.6 million Tesla vehicles in the United States due to reported crashes linked to the 'Actually Smart Summon' feature. Introduced in September, this feature allows users to move their vehicles remotely using a smartphone application. The investigation follows reports of four crashes where Tesla vehicles failed to detect posts or parked vehicles while operating on this feature. NHTSA noted that in these incidents, users had insufficient reaction time to avoid collisions, either through available line of sight or by releasing the app button that stops the vehicle's movement. The probe covers Tesla's Model S and X from 2016 to 2025, Model 3 from 2017 to 2025, and Model Y from 2020 to 2025, all equipped with the Full Self-Driving driver assistance system.
