The U.S. government's road safety agency is investigating Tesla's Full Self-Driving system after receiving reports of crashes in low-visibility conditions, including one that led to a pedestrian's death.
The investigation covers roughly 2.4 million Teslas from the 2016 through 2024 model years, focusing on the system's ability to detect and respond to reduced visibility.
The impact of the investigation on Tesla's self-driving plans is uncertain, as NHTSA must approve any robotaxi design without pedals or a steering wheel.
Although broader safety rules exist, there are currently no federal regulations specifically regarding autonomous vehicles, leaving state-level regulations as a determining factor.
