Tesla's robotaxis have already caught the attention of federal safety regulators | TechCrunch Federal safety regulators have reached out to Tesla a day after the automaker began providing rides in its branded robotaxis in Austin.

Tesla robotaxis swerving into the wrong lane and driving over the speed limit have already caught the eye of federal regulators, as @kirstenkorosec.bsky.social uncovered.

And in two instances, a robotaxi suddenly hit the breaks near police vehicles in adjacent parking lots.
