The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said Thursday that it is upgrading the probe to an engineering analysis

, another sign of increased scrutiny of the electric vehicle maker and automated systems that perform at least some driving tasks.

The agency said it has reports of 16 crashes into emergency vehicles and trucks with warning signs, causing 15 injuries and one death. In the majority of the 16 crashes, the Teslas issued forward collision alerts to the drivers just before impact. Automatic emergency braking intervened to at least slow the cars in about half the cases. On average, Autopilot gave up control of the Teslas less than a second before the crash, NHTSA documents said.

Without exception, every Tesla that I see on the streets in town is speeding. I think the ride might be a bit too smooth & the sensation of too much speed by times is missing. I have the same prob with my new car(non-Tesla). I have to watch my speed a lot.

Complete junk! Lol

um if your tesla 'runs into' another vehicle it's because a human made error(s).

Of course they are!!

The government really wants to take down Musk
