"Opening an investigation" means nothing before a conclusion is reached.

The accusations could be valid or totally baseless, investigations are opened regardless and specifically to find out validity.

Read the listed report. All 11 accidents were confirmed to be:

1. Tesla vehicles

2. Confirmed to be on autopilot / full self driving.

3. Against a stopped emergency vehicle with flashing lights or road flares.

These facts are not in dispute. The accusations aren't "baseless", the only question remaining is "how widespread" is this phenomenon.

These 11 accidents have resulted in 1-fatality and 11 injuries.

We are _WAY_ past "validity" of the claims. We're at "lets set up demos at CES to market ourselves using Tesla as a comparison point", because Tesla is provably that unreliable at stopping in these conditions.

Hey, move fast and break things. And call your terrible experimental technology "autopilot".
