Federal safety investigators from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) are probing Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) software's performance in low-visibility conditions, particularly as the company gears up to launch its robotaxi service in Austin, Texas. The investigation, initiated in October due to several crashes, seeks to clarify how Tesla assesses its technology for public road use. CEO Elon Musk indicated that the upcoming robotaxis will utilize an 'unsupervised' version of the FSD software, which has raised concerns about its capacity to navigate safely in adverse visibility situations.
NHTSA is keen to understand how Tesla's Full Self-Driving (Supervised) technology evaluates vehicle performance in low-visibility environments ahead of its robotaxi rollout.
The investigation into Tesla's FSD software was prompted by incidents in low-visibility conditions, raising concerns about its readiness for public road use.
