The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has escalated its investigation into Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) system to the 'engineering analysis' phase, focusing on its safety performance under adverse weather and low-visibility conditions. The review involves approximately 3.2 million Tesla models. Regulators stated that the system fails to accurately identify road conditions and provide timely warnings when visibility is poor, with multiple related collision incidents confirmed, including one fatal crash. The investigation centers on Tesla's vision-only autonomous driving solution, as its 'downgrade detection system' has failed to provide effective warnings. This escalated investigation may lead to a mass recall and also introduces uncertainty into Tesla's strategy of transitioning to autonomous driving and robotics technologies.
