Tesla investigated over self-driving cars on wrong side of road
Tesla is under investigation after reports surfaced that some of its self-driving cars have been seen driving on the wrong side of the road in multiple incidents. The incidents have been reported in various locations, including California, Texas, and New York, over the past few weeks.
The California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) has confirmed that they are looking into these reports and are working closely with Tesla to gather more information. In a statement, a spokesperson for the DMV said, “The safety of the public is our top priority, and we take these reports very seriously. We are committed to conducting a thorough investigation to determine the cause of these incidents.”
Tesla has responded by stating that their self-driving technology is among the most advanced in the industry and is designed to prioritize safety at all times. A spokesperson for the company mentioned that they are also conducting their own internal investigation to understand what may have led to the cars driving on the wrong side of the road.
The series of incidents have raised concerns among the public about the reliability and safety of self-driving technology, particularly as more car manufacturers are investing heavily in autonomous driving systems.
The investigation is ongoing, and both Tesla and the authorities are urging the public to report any further incidents or concerns related to Tesla’s self-driving cars.
