In the U.S. the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says that it has opened a special crash investigation into a fatal Tesla crash in California that resulted in three deaths.

According to a report by Reuters, the crash, involving a 2022 model Tesla Model S, is one of more than 30 under investigation by the NHTSA involving Tesla vehicles in which advanced driver assistance systems like Autopilot were suspected of use.
 

In all 14 crash deaths have been reported in those Tesla investigations, including the most recent three.
 

Of the 35 special crash investigations by the NHTSA into Tesla since 2016 involving advanced driver assistance systems, Autopilot use has been ruled out in three.
 

Also NHTSA has opened another special crash investigation involving a 2016 Tesla Model X in Florida that resulted in a minor injury.
 

Last autumn NHTSA said it opened a formal preliminary evaluation into Autopilot and has identified at least a dozen crashes involving Tesla models and emergency vehicles.
