Tesla is under investigation for collision issues and is under examination for its new Smart Summon technology in the US.

Following allegations of problems with the Smart Summon Feature, the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has launched an initial assessment of 2.6 million Tesla vehicles, according to Bloomberg.

(Bloomberg) -- The latest step taken by auto safety officials to look into the technology of electric car manufacturer Tesla Inc. is federal scrutiny due to worries that a recently introduced driver-assistance feature may cause collisions.

A preliminary assessment of around 2.6 million Tesla vehicles has been initiated by the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in response to complaints over a technology called "Actually Smart Summon." According to records made public on its website, the agency examined media reports of at least three previous events of a similar nature and received one complaint claiming that the system caused a crash.

In fact, owners can use a smartphone app to remotely move their cars in parking lots or other areas with Smart Summon, which was introduced late last year. According to the NHTSA, some automobiles wrecked while utilizing the technology because they were unable to recognize parked cars or posts. Additionally, according to the organization, some users had insufficient time to prevent a crash.

A request for comment from Bloomberg was not answered by Tesla.

About three months have passed since the NHTSA launched an inquiry into the potential flaws in Tesla's partial automation technology, which is advertised as Full Self-Driving. Additionally, the NHTSA started a recall inquiry in April to determine whether Tesla had taken sufficient precautions to prevent drivers from abusing another set of assistance functions that the firm sells under the name Autopilot.
