NHTSA Probes 2.6 Million Tesla Vehicles for 'Actually Smart Summon' Crashes, No Injuries Reported
Jan 7, 2025, 05:30 PM
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has initiated an investigation into approximately 2.6 million Tesla vehicles in the United States due to reported crashes linked to the 'Actually Smart Summon' feature. This feature, introduced in September, allows users to move their vehicles remotely via a smartphone app and operates on a camera-only system. The NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation received one complaint and reviewed three media reports of crashes where Tesla vehicles failed to detect posts or parked vehicles while operating in 'Actually Smart Summon' mode. The agency has also received 12 complaints related to the previous Smart Summon feature. The investigation covers Tesla models from 2016 to 2025, including Model S, Model X, Model 3, and Model Y equipped with the Full Self-Driving system. The NHTSA is assessing the feature's maximum speed, line of sight requirements, and performance in unanticipated conditions. No injuries have been reported in these incidents.
