Federal Probe Opens Into Aftermarket Self-Driving Hardware After Three Deaths
US federal regulators have opened an investigation into aftermarket self-driving hardware following three deaths. The probe will examine whether third-party driver-assistance kits installed on regular vehicles pose safety risks that manufacturers failed to disclose or mitigate. Regulators are expected to review crash data and the companies' marketing claims about the systems' capabilities, with potential recalls or enforcement actions to follow.
Why now: Three deaths linked to aftermarket self-driving hardware have triggered a new federal investigation, drawing public attention to unregulated driver-assistance products.
