WASHINGTON, Jan 15 (Reuters) - President-elect Donald

Trump's nominee to head the Transportation Department said he

would allow an ongoing government probe into Tesla's advanced

driver assistance system to continue.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in

October opened an investigation into 2.4 million Tesla vehicles

equipped with Full Self-Driving (FSD) software after four

reported collisions, including a fatal 2023 crash. "I will let

NHTSA do their investigation," former lawmaker Sean Duffy said

at a U.S. Senate hearing. Tesla CEO Elon Musk is a close adviser

to Trump.
