NHTSA investigates Tesla robotaxis for speeding in school zones

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is investigating reports that Tesla's fleet of approximately 1,000 robotaxis are exceeding speed limits in active school zones. This inquiry follows similar investigations into Waymo's robotaxis, which have faced scrutiny for traffic violations including illegal passing of school buses and an incident involving a child near a California elementary school. The evaluation highlights growing regulatory attention on the safety of autonomous vehicle operations in sensitive areas.
