The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has intensified scrutiny on Tesla, threatening a $135 million fine if the company fails to submit required Autopilot data by July 1. This action follows ongoing concerns after Tesla's December recall of over two million vehicles due to issues with its semi-autonomous driving software. NHTSA's inquiry includes questions about the mileage accumulated under the driver-assistance system and the frequency of alerts to drivers to maintain hands-on control. Despite software updates, there have been continued incidents of Tesla vehicles crashing while using Autopilot, raising questions about the effectiveness of the recall.
