NHTSA throws a batch of regulation exemptions Zoox's way including: Windshield washing and defrosting, reflective devices, rear visibility, glazing systems, brake systems, and WAIT for it - Occupant Crash Protection!

Zoox is limited to deploying ~2,500 vehicles annually for two years. Zoox is planning to begin charging for rides - first in Las Vegas, then elsewhere.

Mercury News: Auto safety agency exploring new car door rules after deaths in Teslas

A Silicon Valley engineer submitted a petition in November asking the NHTSA to issue new safety standards to address safety risks of electronic handles.

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) calls purveyors of automated vehicles aka RoboTaxis to report to the Principle's office!

"To state it bluntly: An AV that cannot safely interact with first responders is a danger to the general public."

Letter from NHTSA Administroier Morrison to the companies "We expect you to prioritize first responder interactions and will schedule meetings with driverless automated driving system developers by month's end to hear your solutions".

Emergency #FirstResponders Say Waymos Are Getting Worse
Officials from #SanFrancisco and #Austin, where #Waymo has been ferrying passengers without drivers for more than a year, said the vehicles’ performance is getting worse.
“I believe the technology was deployed too quickly in too vast amounts, with hundreds of vehicles, when it wasn’t really ready,” one police official told federal regulators last month.

NHTSA: "The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) is opening this Engineering Analysis to evaluate Tesla’s Full Self Driving Beta and Full Self Driving (Supervised) (collectively, FSD) degradation detection system. The focus of this investigation will be to assess the system’s ability, when encountering reduced roadway visibility conditions, to detect degradation and alert the driver with sufficient time to respond. ODI will evaluate the performance of FSD in degraded roadway conditions and the updates or modifications by Tesla to the degradation detection system, including the timing, purpose, and capabilities of the updates, and Tesla’s assessment of their safety impact."

Tesla: Failure of the FSD's degradation detection system [pdf]

Tesla's FSD system is facing a growing list of investigations.

NHTSA has escalated its latest investigation to an Engineering Analysis covering an estimated 3,203,754 vehicles — the step that typically precedes a recall. There are now three concurrent NHTSA investigations into FSD, covering visibility failures, traffic violations, and crash reporting gaps.

FSD has engaged in what the agency calls "driving maneuvers that constitute traffic safety violations." The CORE PROBLEM = FSD can’t tell when it’s BLIND!

NHTSA states that in the crashes it reviewed, the system “did not detect common roadway conditions that impaired camera visibility and/or provide alerts when camera performance had deteriorated until immediately before the crash occurred.”

The conditions involved are not exotic edge cases and include sun glare, fog, and airborne dust — things any driver encounters regularly. https://electrek.co/2026/03/19/nhtsa-upgrades-tesla-fsd-visibility-investigation-3-2-million-vehicles/ #Tesla #FSD #AutonomousDriving #NHTSA #Recall #FullSelfDriving #Safety #HighwaySafety #Car_Crashes

This is particularly frustrating given the backdrop of a complete failure of Secretary #Buttigeig in reforming the #NHTSA to, amongst other long-standing issues, arrest deceptive and dangerous marketing of automated driving products.

Beyond frustrating.

I like the #Biden Administration's approach to many issues, but #AutoSafety has been completely ignored to date.

I do not like that.
