FSD Safety Scrutiny Intensifies
Record 207 driver-assist crashes reported in May, highest ever, intensifying NHTSA scrutiny. Additional incidents include NFL coach Shanahan crash, Ross Gerber incident, Issaquah crash, whistleblower lawsuit, France blocking approval, and a new settlement over a fatal FSD pedestrian crash in Arizona. NHTSA escalated to Engineering Analysis covering 3.2M vehicles. This is a major headwind for FSD adoption and regulatory approval.
