NHTSA releases Tesla vehicle "loss of control" investigation results

Recently, the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said that regarding the sudden acceleration incidents of Tesla vehicles, "there was no sufficient evidence to prove that there were quality problems with the accelerator pedal assemblies, motor control systems or braking systems of these vehicles." In response, Tao Lin, vice president of external affairs at Tesla, also posted a Weibo post reposting the relevant content.

It is reported that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has recalled Model S, Model X, and Model 3 produced from 2013 to 2020 due to sudden acceleration incidents, involving a total of 662,000 vehicles. In the results of the investigation, NHTSA stated that it did not find sufficient evidence to prove that there were quality problems with the accelerator pedal assemblies, motor control systems, or braking systems of these vehicles, nor did it find any evidence that design factors would increase the possibility of pedal misuse.

"NHTSA released a report on the problem"

In fact, Tesla has had dozens of incidents of "sudden loss of control", "automatic acceleration" and "brake failure" in 2020, and the public has also paid more attention to such issues involving personal safety. The investigation results released by NHTSA did not prove that the sudden acceleration incidents were caused by vehicle problems, but car companies may pay more attention to how to prevent drivers from accidentally stepping on the accelerator pedal in a hurry, and solve them through technical means.
