Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

CTOnews.com, May 30 (Xinhua)-- the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said on Tuesday that it would end its investigation of 580000 Tesla cars because Tesla initially allowed front row passengers to play games while driving.

Shortly after NHTSA launched an investigation into Tesla in December 2021, Tesla decided to cancel this function (Passenger Play). NHTSA said it did not seek to recall the vehicles, but said it had "expressed serious concerns about distracted drivers while the data were available" in its analysis of the data provided by Tesla.

NHTSA closed the investigation without asking for a recall, but this does not mean that "NHTSA found no safety-related defects". In addition, this does not prevent the agency from taking further action if necessary. "

Tesla told NHTSA that he had not received any consumer complaints or collision reports during the year of using the system. NHTSA said the completion rate was about 97 per cent one month after Tesla actively turned off the feature through OTA updates. NHTSA's survey covers Tesla cars with this feature sold since 2017.

"in about 1/3 of the trips that use this feature, drivers clearly use Passenger Play instead of parking, which shows the importance of administrative controls such as lock ratio labels or disclaimer screens based on affirmative technology," Tu Yuan PexelsNHTSA said.

CTOnews.com Inquiry learned that NHTSA2014 issued guidelines advising automakers to "consider safety and prevent driver distractions when designing and adopting in-vehicle infotainment devices." NHTSA suggested that the design of the equipment in the car should not allow the driver to perform secondary tasks that can lead to distraction while driving.
