Jan 7 (Reuters) - The U.S. National Highway Traffic

Safety Administration said on Tuesday it had opened a probe into

about 2.6 million Tesla vehicles over issues related to

the EV maker's feature dubbed "Actually Smart Summon".

The development comes after the traffic safety regulator

opened an investigation into 2.4 million Tesla vehicles in

October, equipped with the automaker's Full Self-Driving (FSD)

software after four reported collisions, including a 2023 fatal

crash.

Actually Smart Summon, a feature rolled out late last

year, allows users to remotely move their vehicle towards them

or another location using a smartphone application.
