Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Why isn't the NHTSA investigating and stopping Tesla from beta testing their self driving ability on consumers that never consented? It's frightening that this organization would allow a technology to be used that has killed pedestrians, drivers and passengers. Please stop this feature that will inevitably only kill more people.”
