Tesla waited nine days before telling regulators National Highway Traffic Safety Administration about the guy that died in that crash while on Autopilot. That seems like a long time before reporting it but, like most people, I have no idea what the rules are governing an accident like this.

Tesla learned about the crash of the Model S sedan in Florida “shortly” after the May 7 crash, and on May 16 it disclosed the incident to the government. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) on June 30 announced a probe. The news comes as the company faces pressure on several fronts. Its bid to buy rooftop solar power company SolarCity has been questioned by investors, and over the U.S. July 4 holiday weekend, it disclosed that second-quarter vehicle production missed company targets.
