Tesla's Robotaxis Blow Through School Zones, NHTSA Petition Alleges

Federal regulators at the NHTSA are reviewing a petition alleging that approximately 1,000 Tesla Model Y Robotaxis and Cybercabs exceed speed limits in active school zones, supported by video evidence and multiple incident reports. The agency will decide within 120 days whether to open a formal investigation, though the petition does not allege any crashes, injuries, or deaths. This review follows previous NHTSA examinations of Tesla's autonomous driving systems and similar safety concerns raised about competitor Waymo's robotaxis.
