The few states that have passed laws allowing autonomous cars on the road limit their use for testing purposes, not the use by the general public. There are currently no Tesla robotaxis on the road. The company claimed that many of these problems came from its supply chain, which required it to inefficiently source parts from around the world rather than build and assemble the cars in one place. The NTSB removes Tesla as a party to its investigation into the crash that killed Huang after Tesla publicly releases crash data and speculates on the cause of the crash, violating an agreement between the NTSB and the automaker that Tesla would not comment on the crash during the course of the investigation.
