Federal Safety Regulators Clear Tesla's Smart Summon Feature. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has closed its investigation into Tesla's Smart Summon feature, a semi-autonomous driving technology that allows owners to remotely summon their vehicles from a distance. The probe was launched in 2019 after several complaints were filed, citing concerns over the system's reliability and potential safety risks. While the details of the investigation's findings are not yet publicly disclosed, the closure of the probe suggests that Tesla's Smart Summon has met regulatory standards. The decision comes as the electric vehicle manufacturer continues to push the boundaries of autonomous driving technology, raising questions about the future of self-driving cars on American roads.
