WASHINGTON—Tesla Inc. disclosed on Tuesday the U.S. Justice Department has sought documents related to its Full Self-Driving (FSD) and Autopilot driver-assistance systems as regulatory scrutiny intensifies.
The automaker said in a filing it “has received requests from the DOJ for documents related to Tesla’s Autopilot and FSD features.”
Reuters reported in October Tesla is under criminal investigation over claims that the company’s electric vehicles could drive themselves. Reuters said the Justice Department launched the probe in 2021 following more than a dozen crashes, some of them fatal, involving Autopilot.
