U.S. auto regulator probes Tesla Autopilot crash - source
The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is sending investigators to examine the crash of a Tesla Inc vehicle apparently travelling in semi-autonomous mode and a fire truck in California, a person briefed on the matter said on Wednesday.
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.
