The American Car Safety Agency said Friday that it will investigate the 12th accident of the Tesla car crash, which may be linked to the advanced car driver system, after a Tesla Model 3 car collided with a parked police car in Connecticut last Saturday.
The agency confirmed that the National Highway Accident Investigation Program of the National Highway Administration will consider the December 7, 2018 Tesla car crash on Interstate 95 in Norwalk, Connecticut.
The automated driver system has been the cause of at least three Tesla fatal accidents in the United States since 2016. The agency's Special Investigation Team has investigated 12 accidents in which the Tesla vehicles were destroyed, as it is believed that the automated driver system was the cause of these accidents until right Now.
The agency completed reports on two of them, a fatal crash in 2016 in Florida with the participation of the driver, and a previous crash where the use of the driver was excluded.
