⚠️ Tesla robotaxis face possible federal probe over school zone speeding

Autonomous robotaxis have been recorded speeding through active school zones. Federal safety regulators opened a review on October 9, 2026, to weigh a formal investigation into Tesla over the hazard, which involves an estimated fleet of 1,000 vehicles including Model Y cars and Cybercabs.

The review stems from a citizen petition submitted on September 23 that included video evidence and agency incident reports regarding vehicles running with the Automated Driving System engaged.

This is the third federal regulatory action targeting the company's driverless fleet in five weeks, following previous scrutiny over vehicle safety certifications and operating systems.

Regulators have 120 days from receiving the petition to decide whether to launch a formal defect investigation.
