The U.S. government has opened a formal investigation into Tesla's partially automated driving system after a series of collisions with parked emergency vehicles. The investigation covers Tesla's entire current model lineup, the Models Y, X, S and 3 from the 2014 through 2021 model years. The NTSB also recommended that NHTSA require Tesla to have a better system to make sure drivers are paying attention. Teslas using the system have crashed into semis crossing in front of them, stopped emergency vehicles and a roadway barrier. In June, NHTSA ordered all automakers to report any crashes involving fully autonomous vehicles or partially automated driver assist systems.
