Tesla must provide comprehensive Full Self-Driving (FSD) data to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) by March 9. The submission supports an ongoing investigation into traffic violations and crashes involving Tesla's driver-assist technology. This regulatory scrutiny requires Tesla to demonstrate the real-world safety and performance of its FSD system.
Tesla’s stock declined approximately 2% on Friday, March 6. Traders increased purchases of put options to hedge against potential price drops. This activity reflects investor caution regarding the binary risk of the NHTSA’s upcoming findings.
