TMTPOST -- Tesla Inc. Stock   dipped around   2.4%   on Tuesday, paring part of the 8.2% jump, the largest daily   gain in nearly   two   months   set   a day earlier.   Shares retreated   and underperformed   the stock market   as the electric vehicle giant ’ s   robotaxi service is on U.S. regulators ’   radar just days after   the highly-awaited   artificial intelligence ( AI ) -powered   self-driving service   launched.

Several videos posted on   Tesla   CEO Elon   Musk ’ s social   media   platform   X   showed   Tesla ’ s robotaxi   rides violated local traffic   laws   by driving above posted speed limits, swerving across lanes, and hesitating to turn.  

In one video   among them, a Tesla   robotaxi vehicle commits   two   traffic   violation as   it first enters   a left-turn-only   lane, then proceeds   to   go straight   through   the intersection and cross a double yellow line the process. Another video   shared online showed one of robotaxi vehicles brakes   hard   twice for stationary polic   vehicles outside its driving path.

The videos have already   drawn   the   National   Highway Traffic   Safety Administration ( NHTSA )   ‘ s attention. The agency   in charge of automobile   safety regulations   in the U.S., is aware of the referenced incidents and is in contact with the manufacturer to gather additional information, according to an   emailed   statement   from the regulator.  

"NHTSA does not pre-approve new technologies or vehicle systems – rather, manufacturers certify that each vehicle meets NHTSA ’ s rigorous safety standards, and the agency investigates incidents involving potential safety defects,"   the NHTSA   said.   The   agency said it will take "necessary actions to protect road safety"after assessing a wide array of reports and information.  

NHTSA   has opened an investigation   into Tesla ’ s full self-driving   ( FSD )   Supervised program and in May asked Tesla   to   release data   from   its advanced   driver assistance system when it   heard   from the company   that the robotaxi service   in Austin is   based on   the FSD program.   The request for   more   information aims   to understand   how   Tesla   plans to ealuate its vehicle and driving automation technologies   for   use   on public roads,   according to an email sent   by Tanya Topka, Director of NHTSA ’ s Office of Defects Investigation.  

  In the statement on Tuesday, NHTSA said   its investigation into Tesla ’ s FSD-Supervised/Beta software remains open.

Musk in   May told   CNBC   Tesla ’ s robotaxi service will start with   about   10   Model Y   vehicles   in Austin,   and these vehicles will be equipped with a new   version called   FSD Unsupervised.   He said Tesla   planned for   robotaxis   on   Austin roads   in June, aiming to expand the service into Los   Angeles and San Francisco   later.

Musk   on Sunday confirmed   Tesla   began to offer robotaxi   service at   that   day ’ s afternoon   in   Austin,   the capital city of the   U.S. Texas   state, with customers paying at a   $4.20 flat. In X   post on Sunday,   Musk touted the seccessful robotaxi launch.   "Super congratulations to the @Tesla_AI software & chip design teams on a successful @Robotaxi launch!! Culmination of a decade of hard work. Both the AI chip and software teams were built from scratch within Tesla," he said.

With   an updated FSD, the robotaxi   service is available   for a   limited number of   Tesla riders   that have been   invited   as early   access users. The Model Y vehicles   running as   robotaxi without safety drivers inside   can ride in a geofenced area of Texas,   but   were   backed by safety teleoperators able to control   the vehilce incase of emergency and monitored by a Tesla   employee   sitting   in the passenger seat who can intervene in case of an issue.

Following Musk ’ s tweets, lots of posters on   X said they were able to hail   and ride Model Y   vehicles emblazoned   with "Robotaxi"   graphics   in Austin. One of them   claimed they did 11   rides with   the service "with zero   issues".

The Electrek   found the vibe the EV and clean energy   new media   outlet   most   got was   positive, with   the word   "smooth"   are usually mentioned. Though it noted   riders who posted   ride   videos   or   experiences of robotaxi   are   all Tesla   fans and/or investors,   which are less interested in criticizing the company while very   familiar with   the current abilities and limitations of   its systems.   The   Verge   reported most of the   early   testers   said the   experiences were "smooth"   and "natural",   but there   was a robotaxi   driving on the   wrong side of the road.
