WASHINGTON, Jan 15 (Reuters) - President-elect Donald Trump's nominee to head the Transportation Department said he would allow an ongoing government probe into Tesla's advanced driver assistance system to continue.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in October opened an investigation into 2.4 million Tesla vehicles equipped with Full Self-Driving (FSD) software after four reported collisions, including a fatal 2023 crash. "I will let NHTSA do their investigation," former lawmaker Sean Duffy said at a U.S. Senate hearing. Tesla CEO Elon Musk is a close adviser to Trump.
