CTOnews.com, July 8 (Xinhua)-- due to more than a dozen accidents in the United States, NHTSA has begun to investigate whether Tesla's Autopilot-assisted driving system, such as Autopilot, can ensure that drivers stay focused when using the feature.

According to Reuters, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has asked Tesla to provide the latest data related to the 830000 ongoing Tesla cars and the Autopilot-assisted driving system.

The US auto safety agency sent a notice to Tesla on July 3 asking to update his 2022 inquiry. According to the agency's public content, it asked Tesla to provide an answer by July 19.

The letter also shows that Tesla needs to provide data on the number of vehicles equipped with "Tesla Vision". This is the main direction of Tesla after canceling the radar, which aims to rely only on the camera to complete various functions of driving assistance.

In fact, Tu Yuan Pexels has previously asked Tesla about the camera in the car, which is mainly used to check whether the driver is focused when he turns on Autopilot or FSD. As of CTOnews.com, Tesla has not commented on the matter.

At present, Tesla Autopilot (AP) allows vehicles to automatically turn, accelerate and brake in their designated lanes, while the enhanced Autopilot (EAP) gives Tesla the ability to change lanes on highways, which is currently priced at 32000 yuan in China.

In addition, Tesla's current 64000 yuan FSD Beta allows vehicles to navigate automatically on city streets, but it has not yet been launched in China.

NHTSA noted last year that nine of the 11 previous accidents showed no driver involvement, visual or auditory alerts in the seconds before the crash, and four vehicles without any visual or auditory warnings throughout the final life cycle of the Autopilot.
