Lawmakers push faster accountability for Tesla after fatal FSD crash

Sen. Blumenthal and Sen. Markey urge the NHTSA to accelerate and broaden scrutiny of Tesla’s Full Self-Driving technology after a fatal Texas crash in which police say the driver used assisted driving before hitting a brick house. They criticize Tesla’s safety claims and data transparency, call for wider crash reporting and data disclosure, and note that NHTSA is investigating while the victim’s family has filed suit. The push follows ongoing federal probes into Tesla’s driver-assist systems and past safety concerns.
