The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration launched an investigation into Tesla’s supervised full self-driving technology, examining four collisions, including one fatal pedestrian accident. The probe focuses on whether the software has adequate safeguards to ensure drivers can retake control when necessary. This could pose a significant challenge to Tesla’s ambitious plans for autonomous vehicles that rely on cameras rather than a combination of sensors. (NHTSA and The New York Times)
