Why safety regulators closed their investigation into Tesla’s remote parking feature

NHTSA closed its investigation into Tesla's 'Actually Smart Summon' feature after finding only a fraction of cases resulted in an incident and no incidents caused injury; Tesla has issued multiple software updates to the feature. The closure reduces near-term regulatory and litigation risk for Tesla but is unlikely to materially alter company fundamentals or sector outlook.
