The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is investigating Tesla's Autopilot system again, expressing doubts over the effectiveness of last year's recall. The recall, which affected over 2 million Tesla vehicles in the US, was a response to NHTSA's investigation into crashes involving Tesla cars on Autopilot hitting stopped emergency vehicles on highways. The remedy for the recall was an over-the-air software update, but recent crashes and concerns about the remedy have led NHTSA to open a new investigation.
