The move follows a separate announcement on Tuesday by the National Transportation Safety Board that it was sending two investigators to the scene to conduct a "field investigation" to examine both driver and vehicle factors in Monday`s accident in which the driver said the vehicle was operating in “Autopilot” mode.

Tesla declined to comment on Wednesday on the new probe.
