Feds intensify investigation into Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (Supervised) software
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has escalated its investigation into Tesla's Full Self-Driving software from preliminary evaluation to engineering analysis. The probe focuses on the system's performance during poor visibility conditions like fog, rain, and glare. This escalation brings Tesla closer to a potential recall of the FSD feature.
Tesla's FSD technology has consistently shown dangerous limitations in challenging driving conditions that human drivers navigate daily. The escalated federal investigation validates long-standing concerns about releasing insufficiently tested autonomous systems to the public.
FSD technology is clearly labeled as requiring driver supervision and continues to improve through over-the-air updates. The investigation process is standard regulatory procedure, and Tesla has consistently worked with authorities to address any identified issues.
