PALO ALTO -- Tesla is allowing some drivers to use its Autopilot driver-assist system for extended periods without making them put their hands on the steering wheel, a development that has drawn concern from U.S. safety regulators.
A message was left early Wednesday seeking comment from Tesla."If you haven't tried Tesla Autopilot, you don't know how awesome it is," Musk wrote Wednesday on X, formerly Twitter. The special order tells Tesla to describe differences in the software update that reduces or eliminates instances where Autopilot tells drivers to apply pressure on the steering wheel,"including the amount of time that Autopilot is allowed to operate without prompting torque, and any warnings or chimes that are presented to the driver."
A Tesla officer has to respond to the letter under oath by Aug. 25 or the agency will refer the matter to the Justice Department, which can seek a maximum penalty of more than $131 million. All of the automakers but Tesla responded. In 2021 NTSB Chairwoman Jennifer Homendy wrote a letter to Tesla CEO Elon Musk calling on him to act on the recommendations. The NTSB said Musk never responded.
