The U.S. government’s road safety agency is again investigating Tesla’s “Full Self-Driving” system, this time after getting reports of crashes in low-visibility conditions, including one that killed a pedestrian.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says in documents that it opened the probe on Thursday with the company reporting four crashes after Teslas entered areas of low visibility, including sun glare, fog and airborne dust.

In addition to the pedestrian’s death, another crash involved an injury, the agency said.

Investigators will look into the ability of “Full Self-Driving” to “detect and respond appropriately to reduced roadway visibility conditions, and if so, the contributing circumstances for these crashes.”

    There is no proof they are safe, and we should stop trying to replace people.

      Again, ride in one yourself when you get the chance and I promise you you’ll change your mind immediately.

        Again, not only no valid proof they are safe, but they are being used to put people out of work like Taxi and Uber drivers.

          It’s for the better. They will find other jobs. You sound like the people crying about coal mines being closed down.
