Inside the WSJ Tesla Autopilot Crash Investigation: How We Analyzed Hundreds of Incidents.

A comprehensive analysis conducted by The Wall Street Journal reveals safety concerns surrounding Tesla's Autopilot technology. The analysis, which combined federal filings with local police records, uncovered details about over 200 Tesla Autopilot-involved crashes. The findings indicate that Autopilot struggles to recognize obstacles and navigate certain scenarios, and crashes often occur when the vehicle loses traction. The analysis aligns with a recent National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) report that identified a trend of "avoidable crashes" involving Teslas. However, both Tesla and the NHTSA withhold key information about crashes from the public. Tesla has reported over 1,200 Autopilot-related crashes to the NHTSA since 2021, and the company tightly controls access to crash data. [Extracted from the article]
