Tesla recently launched its robotaxi service in Austin, Texas, which immediately faced issues like driving on the wrong side of the road and stopping abruptly for stationary police vehicles.
Videos captured these incidents with one showing a robotaxi dropping off passengers in the middle of a busy intersection.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is reviewing the incidents where the Tesla robotaxi made errors and stated that it will take necessary actions to ensure road safety.
NHTSA typically investigates when driverless vehicles are involved in mistakes or accidents, and they have started a review process in response to the Tesla incidents.
There is concern that Tesla's robotaxi service is operating in a regulatory vacuum, potentially facing consequences from further errors.
