The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) sent Tesla an eight-page letter seeking a meeting and answers “to properly assess these recent incidents and to better understand how Tesla’s planned updates would increase driver attentiveness and reduce the risk of collisions with stationary emergency vehicles.”

NHTSA opened a formal preliminary evaluation in August and upgraded it earlier this month to an engineering analysis.
