NHTSA ends investigation into Tesla's actually smart summon feature
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration closed its investigation into Tesla's 'actually smart summon' feature after finding incidents occurred infrequently and were not particularly severe. The agency had opened the investigation in January 2025 after receiving reports about the feature, which allows Tesla users to summon their cars to a particular location without a driver. NHTSA determined the investigation could be closed following software fixes and the low frequency of incidents.
