NHTSA begins review of petition alleging Tesla robotaxis speed in school zones
The NHTSA has started inspecting a defect petition filed in late September that claims about 1,000 Tesla Model Y Robotaxis and Cybercabs exceeded posted speed limits in active school zones. The petition cites four incidents—one formal complaint and three social media reports—along with three video links, but reports no crashes, injuries, or deaths. NHTSA now has 120 days to review the claims and decide whether to open a formal investigation.
