Automakers reported nearly 400 crashes over a 10-month period involving vehicles with partially automated driver-assist systems, including 273 with Teslas, according to statistics released Wednesday by U.S. safety regulators.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration cautioned against using the numbers to compare automakers, saying it didn't weight them by the number of vehicles from each manufacturer that use the systems, or how many miles those vehicles traveled.
The next closest of a dozen automakers that reported crashes was Honda, with 90. Honda says it has about six million vehicles on U.S. roads with such systems. Subaru was next with 10, and all other automakers reported five or fewer. Tesla's crashes accounted for nearly 70% of the 392 reported by the dozen automakers. Although the Austin, Texas, automaker calls its systems Autopilot and"Full Self-Driving," it says the vehicles cannot drive themselves and the drivers must be ready to intervene at all times.
"As today's data suggests, this contempt for auto safety laws has real-world consequences," Markey said while urging NHTSA to take enforcement action. However, NHTSA has used the data to seek a recall, open investigations and provide information for existing inquiries, officials said.
