WASHINGTON—U.S auto safety regulators on Tuesday said they have sought additional information from Tesla Inc. in its probe into 580,000 vehicles over the automaker’s decision to allow games to be played by passengers on the front center touchscreen.
In December, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) opened a preliminary evaluation into 2017–2022 Tesla Model 3, S, X, and Y vehicles over the vehicle’s “Passenger Play” feature the agency said, “may distract the driver and increase the risk of a crash.”
