Motoring: US regulator reviewing Tesla owner complaint on self-driving test software – Gulf Digital News

The US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said it is looking into a consumer report that a Tesla Model Y was involved in an accident while using the company's Full Self-Driving (FSD) Beta software.

The owner of a 2021 Tesla Model Y reported to the auto safety agency that on Nov. 3 in Brea, California the vehicle was in FSD Beta mode "and while taking a left turn the car went into the wrong lane and I was hit by another driver in the lane next to my lane."

The car "gave an alert halfway through the turn" and the driver tried to assume control "but the car by itself took control and forced itself into the incorrect lane," the report says.
