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.”

No, it is not generally proven to save lives, you are listening to lies somewhere. Its not a good thing to push self-driving cars and Musk is the one being retarded. Plus he supports Trump and not Harris.

The technology behind it is proven to save lifes. The reaction time of a full brake to stop a car crash i had the "luck" of experiencing on a Volkswagen was outstanding.

Same thing for the lane assist function if you are sleepy

If you are sleepy behind the wheel, you need to pull over, get off the road, and take a rest.

Thanks mom. I brought cases to prove my point I'm not saying you should go on a road trip while sleepy.
