Automakers Safety Regulator

Tesla, in its disclosure to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, has reported 273 vehicle crashes involving advanced driving assistance systems like Autopilot since July 2021. The US regulator mandated all automakers and tech companies in June 2021 to immediately report all crashes involving advanced driver assistance systems.

The US auto safety regulator said that it is discussing heating issues of some Tesla vehicles with the automaker and evaluating "potential safety concerns."

US auto safety regulators said they have opened a formal safety investigation into 580,000 Tesla vehicles sold since 2017 over the automaker's decision to allow games to be played on the front centre touchscreen.

The Trump administration said late on Friday it was issuing final rules to suspend a 2016 Obama administration regulation that more than doubled penalties for automakers failing to meet fuel efficiency requirements. Congress in 2015 ordered federal agencies to adjust a wide range of civil penalties to account for inflation and, in response, the Nat...

US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said it issued a final regulation streamlining the review process.

Regulators say automatic braking systems could prevent thousands of deaths and injuries every year.

A top safety regulator says automakers have agreed to fundamental changes in their relationship with the US government to promote greater safety using the aviation industry as a model.

The automaker admitted to failing to disclose to its US regulator and the public a potentially lethal safety defect with the switches that kept airbags from deploying in some vehicles.

In a letter to the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM), the global crash-test safety agency has suggested automakers to take voluntary initiative on car safety instead of waiting for the Indian government's new occupant protection regulations under Bharat New Vehicle Safety Assessment Programme (BNVSAP).

Honda Motor Co failed to notify U.S. safety regulators of 1,729 claims of injuries and deaths related to accidents in its vehicles since 2003, the automaker acknowledged on Monday.

The latest recalls boosted the number of deaths acknowledged by GM to at least 16. The automaker said it now knows of 61 crashes tied to faulty ignition switches, although US lawmakers and safety regulators have said they expect the death toll to climb.

The four recalls are the latest announced by the largest US automaker, the highest profile of which is the recall of cars with defective ignition switches linked to at least 13 deaths. GM has been criticized by safety advocates and fined by US safety regulators for not catching the faulty switch earlier.

US safety regulators have added about 320,000 older model Honda Odyssey minivans to a widening probe of faulty air bags that affects at least three automakers and more than 2 million vehicles.
