NHTSA

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened an investigation into Uber partner Avride after identifying more than a dozen crashes and one minor injury involving their self-driving vehicles. This regulatory scrutiny could delay autonomous vehicle deployment and impact investor confidence in the self-driving sector.

NHTSA closed its investigation into Tesla's "Actually Smart Summon" feature after finding that only a fraction of cases resulted in incidents with no injuries reported. This regulatory clearance removes a potential liability concern for Tesla's autonomous vehicle technology development.
