    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    NHTSA ordered Tesla to answer questions and produce documents, according to the letter released Tuesday.

    Tesla says the camera is built with a DMS that can determine if a driver isn’t paying attention and send them noise alerts.

    Tesla previously relied on a system that could detect when a driver’s hands were on the steering wheel, but introduced the camera-based DMS in May 2021.

    Tesla CEO Elon Musk has shared plans on X — the social media platform formerly known as Twitter that Musk bought in 2022 — to gradually reduce alerts aimed at ensuring drivers using Tesla’s “Full Self-Driving” (FSD) system keep their hands on the wheel.

    NHTSA gave Tesla a due date of August 25, and late responses can cost $26,315 per day.

    The lawsuit alleges that Autopilot failed to brake, steer or act in any way to avoid the crash.
