U.S. regulators are under increasing scrutiny over the safety of electric vehicles after a fatal crash in Texas sparked a second investigation into the matter. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has joined the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in looking into the circumstances surrounding the accident, which resulted in the deaths of two people. The crash, which occurred in a Houston suburb, has raised concerns about the Autopilot feature in Tesla vehicles, which some critics argue may have contributed to the accident. As the NTSB and NHTSA delve deeper into the incident, the safety of self-driving cars and the role of manufacturers in preventing such tragedies will be under intense scrutiny.
