US auto safety regulators escalated an investigation of Tesla Inc.’s partially automated driving system marketed as “Full-Self Driving,” citing additional crashes pointing to potential flaws in the technology’s ability to handle driving conditions with reduced visibility. A review of the incidents raised concern that the system fails to detect and warn drivers appropriately when the visibility of the vehicle’s cameras is degraded.The move, which could provide the basis for NHTSA to eventually seek a recall, heightens scrutiny of technology that underpins Tesla’s future ambitions around autonomous driving and robotaxi operations. Do you think that the move will slow down the change to autonomus cars ?
