U.S. investigation of fatal Tesla crash is ended with no recall, source says
U .S. safety regulators are ending an investigation into a fatal crash involving electric car maker Tesla Motors' Autopilot system without a recall, according to a source. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration scheduled a call Thursday about the investigation. A person briefed on the matter said that Tesla won't be fined -- but that the agency will criticize Tesla for confusing customers by calling the semiautonomous driving system Autopilot. The person, who spoke on condition of anonymity, wasn't authorized to provide details because results have not been released. The investigation began June 28, nearly two months after a driver using Autopilot in a Tesla Model S died when he and the vehicle both failed to spot a tractor-trailer crossing the car's path on a Florida highway.
