US probing Elon Musk's Tesla over self-driving systems

NHTSA's preliminary evaluation follows four crash reports involving the use of Tesla's "Full Self-Driving", or FSD, software. The agency said the crashes involved reduced roadway visibility, with fog or glares from the sun. One of the incidents involved a Telsa fatally striking a pedestrian, and another involved someone being injured, NHTSA said. The evaluation aims to determine if Tesla's self-driving systems can detect and appropriately respond to reduced visibility conditions. It also will examine if other self-driving crashes have happened under similar conditions.
