The United States is investigating the two Tesla crashes.

The U.S. highway safety agency will send teams to investigate two November crashes involving Teslas with automated driving systems.

Since 2016, the NHTSA has investigated 35 crashes involving Tesla's "Full Self-Driving" or "Autopilot" systems. In the crashes, 19 died.
