NHTSA also is investigating the Connecticut crash, in which the driver told police that the car was operating on Autopilot, a Tesla system designed to keep a car in its lane and a safe distance from other vehicles. Autopilot also can change lanes on its own. Tesla has said repeatedly that...
We provide an updated record of Tesla fatalities and Tesla accident deaths that have been reported and as much related crash data as possible (e.g. location of crash, names of deceased, etc.). This sheet also tallies each claimed and confirmed Tesla autopilot crash, i.e. every instance of...
The U.S. car maker did not explain whether the sedan's autopilot system had detected the traffic barrier before the fatal crash on March 23 on highway 101 in northern California. The deadly crash is the latest accident involving self-driving technology. Earlier this month, a self-driving Vol...
Tesla focuses on many aspects of vehicle safety, including: active safety—which can prevent or mitigate foreseeable crashes; passive safety—protecting occupants including children, pedestrians, cyclists, and other vulnerable road-users when a collision is unavoidable; and post-crash safety—supporting ...

There is consensus that certain driver-assist systems reduce crash rates, but what about Tesla's Autopilot?
Processing Power Increased 40x To make sense of all of this information, our Hardware 3 onboard computer processes more than 40 times the data compared to our previous generation system. This computer runs the Tesla-developed neural net, which is the foundation for how we train and develop Aut...
transportation official says Tesla shouldn’t call its partially automated driving system Autopilot because the cars can’t drive themselves. “I don’t think that something should be called, for example, an Autopilot, when the fine print says you need to have your hands on the wheel an...
At least 11 drivers told Tesla a crash was caused by a failure in the suspension, steering or wheel assembly, company records show. Those accident claims, which have not been previously reported by the media, were recorded by Tesla staff between 2018 and 2021 and assigned to engineers...
