A major overhaul of car safety regulations is set to begin in the US, following a string of high-profile deaths involving Tesla vehicles. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is reportedly planning to introduce new safety standards for car doors, in an effort to prevent similar incidents in the future. The move comes after a series of fatal accidents, including one in which a Tesla driver died after being thrown from the vehicle through an open door while it was in motion. The new rules are expected to mandate additional safety features, such as automatic door closure systems, to protect drivers and passengers.
