Reuters announces that Tesla faces a US criminal investigation over self-driving claims

automobile

Reuters exclusively reported that Tesla is under criminal investigation in the United States over claims that the company’s electric vehicles can drive themselves. The US Department of Justice investigation, which began last year but was not previously disclosed, focuses on whether Tesla misled consumers, investors and regulators by making unsubstantiated claims about its driver-assistance technology. The Justice Department’s investigation may present a more serious scrutiny due to the possibility of criminal charges against Tesla or individual executives.
