Five new crashes occurred in December 2025 and January 2026, and Tesla retroactively upgraded a July crash to include hospitalization. All crash narratives remain fully redacted as confidential business information, making Tesla the only autonomous driving operator to systematically hide crash details from public NHTSA reports. Despite this performance gap and the presence of safety monitors in all vehicles, Tesla began offering rides without safety monitors in late January 2026. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
