Tesla's FSD Under Investigation After Fatal Crash

Tesla's 'Full Self-Driving' (FSD) system is under investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) following reports of multiple crashes in low-visibility conditions, including fog and sun glare. The probe involves approximately 2.4 million vehicles and was prompted by four incidents, one resulting in a pedestrian's death. Critics argue that Tesla's reliance on cameras rather than LIDAR for navigation may contribute to these accidents. Tesla's recent unveiling of a fully autonomous robotaxi without pedals or steering wheels has been overshadowed by this scrutiny. The investigation will determine if the FSD system can detect and respond appropriately in adverse visibility conditions. Depending on the outcome, NHTSA might issue a recall if the technology poses a safety risk.
