California reviews whether Tesla's self-driving tests require oversight

California is evaluating whether Tesla's self-driving tests require regulatory oversight, following "videos showing a dangerous use of that technology" and federal investigations into Tesla vehicle crashes, a state regulator said. The California department of motor vehicles previous said that Tesla's full self-driving, or FSD, beta requires human intervention and therefore is not subject to its regulations on autonomous vehicles. But the agency is revisiting that decision "following recent software updates, videos showing a dangerous use of that technology, open investigations by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), and the opinions of other experts", the department said in a letter on Friday to Lena Gonzalez, chair of the state senate transportation committee. The Los Angeles Times first reported the letter. Tesla did not respond to a request for comment.
