Tesla in return blasted the NTSB, saying the company chose on Tuesday to withdraw from the agreement as a formal party before the agency revoked its status. The NTSB has three pending probes into Tesla crashes. “It is unfortunate that Tesla, by its actions, did not abide by the party agreement,” Sumwalt said in the NTSB statement on Thursday. Tesla said the Autopilot system always reminded drivers to be alert and keep their hands on the wheel. The agency previously faulted Tesla in a 2016 fatal crash in Florida in which Autopilot was engaged.
