FSD<\/a> is looking into possible safety defects that make it risky for drivers to use in fog, glaring sun or other “reduced roadway visibility conditions.”<\/p>\nThe investigation, which started last year, involves 3.2 million Tesla vehicles, including Model S, X, 3, Y and Cybertruck EVs that can use the company’s FSD-branded driver assistance systems, according to a filing on the agency’s website. <\/p>\n
The agency wrote that Tesla FSD may sometimes fail: “to detect and\/or warn the driver appropriately under degraded visibility conditions such as glare and airborne obscurants.”<\/p>\n
In crashes reviewed by the agency, Tesla’s system “did not detect common roadway conditions that impaired camera visibility and\/or provide alerts when camera performance had deteriorated until immediately before the crash occurred.”<\/p>\n
The probe has been elevated to an “engineering analysis,” after a string of complaints about collisions in which FSD was in use within 30 seconds of a crash, including one in which a Tesla driver who was using FSD struck and killed a pedestrian. <\/p>\n
Tesla did not immediately respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n
