As a dedicated Tesla enthusiast with over a decade of personal experience driving various models, I can’t help but feel a tinge of concern regarding the recent NHTSA safety probe into Full Self-Driving (FSD) technology. Having relied on FSD for countless hours of hands-free cruising, it’s disheartening to see such a promising innovation under scrutiny.
The automotive company, Tesla, is being scrutinized by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) over its Full Self-Driving (FSD) technology following a fatal accident where FSD might have played a part. After the incident, NHTSA initiated an investigation into how Tesla’s FSD performs under poor visibility conditions such as fog, bright sunlight, and various other situations.
This week, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) shared documents concerning their investigation into Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) system. The probe was triggered by a string of accidents where FSD had been operating in the minutes leading up to collisions involving Tesla vehicles. Regrettably, one such incident resulted in a pedestrian fatality. In light of these events, the NHTSA has declared that they will scrutinize the performance of engineering controls within Tesla’s FSD-equipped models, specifically Model S, X, 3, Y, and Cybertrucks, when dealing with reduced visibility on the road.
Other subjects of the NHTSA probe are as follows:
The outcome of the safety investigation remains uncertain, which could potentially lead to another hurdle for Tesla’s Full Self-Driving technology. This comes after Elon Musk and the company recently showcased autonomous Cybercab taxi vehicles. If it results in safer technology, though, it would likely benefit Tesla and road users in the future.
