BBC World Service - Business Matters, Investigation into Tesla’s autopilot function moves to next phase

US regulator upgrades the probe into the role of Tesla’s autopilot feature in crashes

The US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration upgrades the probe into the role Tesla’s autopilot feature may have had in more than a dozen crashes.

The vehicle safety regulator in the United States has upgraded its investigation into Tesla's autopilot feature after more than a dozen of them crashed into parked first-responder vehicles in four years. Our North of America Business Correspondent Michelle Fleury tells us more about the probe.
Japan's inflation rate is rising but nowhere near the historic records other countries are registering. However, being used to decades of stable and falling prices, Japanese shoppers are now in shock to see them increase. The BBC's Mariko Oi reports from Tokyo. 
We also hear from tour guide Dai Miyamoto about the conditions Japan has set for international travellers, who are now welcome again after two years of border restrictions. 
Countries around the world are trying to move towards more renewable energy like that produced by wind and solar. But storage is a big challenge that still needs to be tackled. The BBC's Hannah Bewley talks to some of the people looking for solutions.
Rahul Tandon is joined along the programme by Tony Nash, Chief Economist at Complete Intelligence in Texas, and Jyoti Malhotra, Senior Consulting Editor at The Print in New Delhi, to talk about this and other business news.
