Tesla fires back at NTSB over the investigation into fatal Autopilot crash, says it will complain to Congress (TSLA)
Tesla is in a spat with the NTSB over an investigation into a fatal Model X accident involving Autopilot.
A dispute has developed this week between Tesla and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) over an investigation into a fatal crash involving the carmaker's Autopilot technology.
The accident occurred near Mountain View, CA, last month and led to the death of Walter Huang, whose Tesla Model X crashed into a freeway barrier.
The NTSB's chairman, Robert Sumwalt, sent a letter dated April 12 to Tesla CEO Elon Musk "memorializing a conversation" between Musk, NTSB managing director Dennis Jones, and Sumwalt in which the agency informed Tesla that it was revoking Tesla's party status in the investigation of the March 26 crash.

After the NTSB published its statement, Tesla fired back claiming that the agency doesn't even follow its own rules.
