The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is investigating Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) software after several crashes occurred in reduced visibility conditions, including a pedestrian fatality.
The NHTSA has identified four specific reports where Tesla vehicles crashed in limited visibility due to sun glare, fog, or dust while FSD was engaged.
The investigation targets Tesla's FSD capabilities, particularly how the system detects and responds in conditions with impaired visibility, which raises significant safety concerns.
The office managing the case, NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation, aims to scrutinize whether Tesla vehicles can navigate safely in challenging visibility scenarios.
