The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration sent Tesla a letter on July 3 seeking updates to questions it had asked in August 2022 and has demanded answers by July 19.

The agency is investigating the performance of Autopilot after identifying a dozen crashes in which Tesla vehicles struck stopped emergency vehicles.

It is also reviewing whether Tesla vehicles adequately ensure drivers are paying attention when using Autopilot.
