Novos dados mostram motoristas remotos em colisões de robotáxis da Tesla

Detalhes recém-divulgados de relatórios federais de acidentes revelam que operadores remotos estavam no controle durante pelo menos dois incidentes envolvendo robotáxis da Tesla em Austin, Texas. As colisões ocorreram após a empresa começar a oferecer corridas em junho de 2025.

Os dados da National Highway Traffic Safety Administration cobrem 17 incidentes envolvendo robotáxis da Tesla entre julho de 2025 e março de 2026. Em um evento de julho de 2025, um operador remoto assumiu o controle após um monitor de segurança solicitar ajuda, acelerou o veículo e atingiu uma cerca de metal. Um segundo acidente, em janeiro de 2026, mostra um motorista remoto batendo em uma barricada de construção a cerca de 14 quilômetros por hora. Ambos os veículos transportavam um monitor de segurança, mas não havia passageiros no momento.

California DMV records show Tesla completed zero miles of autonomous testing on public roads in 2025—the sixth consecutive year without activity—stalling progress toward driverless robotaxi approvals under new rules requiring 50,000 supervised miles.
