United States initiates investigation into Tesla’s autonomous driving systems following deadly accidents.

The United States has announced a comprehensive investigation into Tesla’s fully autonomous driving systems after reports of accidents causing fatalities and injuries due to poor visibility on the roads. The investigation comes after multiple accidents occurred when Tesla vehicles faced visibility challenges due to sun glare or due to fog and dust in the air.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in America stated that they have initiated this investigation after recording four serious collision accidents, one of which resulted in the death of a pedestrian, while another person was injured. The administration mentioned that these accidents occurred in areas with low visibility due to environmental factors, prompting authorities to scrutinize the performance of autonomous driving systems and their ability to interact with these conditions.

The investigation will include analyzing how Tesla’s systems respond to low visibility situations, and whether these systems are able to detect these situations correctly and activate appropriate safety measures to avoid accidents.
