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

A petition has been filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) alleging that Tesla's robotaxis are ignoring school zones and speeding. The petition, filed by a concerned citizen, claims that a Tesla robotaxi was seen traveling at 45 mph in a 15 mph school zone. The incident occurred in a neighborhood in San Mateo, California. The petition is requesting that NHTSA investigate the incident and take action to prevent similar incidents in the future. The petition states that the robotaxi was not responding to speed limit signs, and that the driver was distracted by a passenger. The incident reportedly occurred on a weekday morning when children were on their way to school.
