U.S. regulators have closed an investigation into Tesla’s “Actually Smart Summon” feature, citing low-risk incidents and effective software improvements.
The probe covered approximately 2.59 million vehicles and found only minor, low-speed events, with no reported injuries or fatalities.
The feature enables drivers to remotely move vehicles in parking areas via smartphone, requiring continuous user supervision during operation.
According to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the frequency and severity of incidents did not justify further regulatory action.
However, the agency clarified that closing the case does not rule out potential defects and leaves room for future intervention if necessary.
Tesla addressed concerns through over-the-air updates, enhancing obstacle detection, camera visibility, and responsiveness to dynamic surroundings.
Additional improvements targeted environmental interference, reducing errors caused by snow, condensation, and other visibility-related factors.
Regulatory scrutiny continues elsewhere, as authorities maintain a broader review of advanced driver-assistance systems and their real-world safety performance.
