In August, NHTSA began an investigation into the 11 crashes that have occurred in the U.S. It has been linked by regulators to several deaths and numerous crashes, notably a 2016 Florida incident that killed a former Navy SEAL. But that scrutiny has only ramped up since 2015, when Tesla first made the Autopilot software available to drivers. Both agencies have repeatedly initiated safety probes, looking into issues including battery fires. Tesla is no stranger to the federal safety agency, as well as the National Transportation Safety Board.
“Somebody’s going to get killed,” Patton told the Associated Press after filing a complaint with NHTSA. Taking his own Model 3 out, Patton found he could play games like Solitaire and “Sky Force Reloaded,” as he looped around a parking lot near his home. The latest controversy was triggered by a complaint filed by Vince Patton, a retired journalist living near Portland, Oregon, who watched a YouTube video showing how drivers could play video games on the large touchscreen that controls virtually all functions in Tesla vehicles.
