The U.S. government's highway safety agency, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, has raised concerns about Tesla's messaging regarding the capabilities of its vehicles. The agency has pointed out discrepancies between public statements made by Tesla and the information provided in owners manuals and briefings with the agency.
The agency's inquiry stems from a probe into crashes involving Tesla's 'Full Self-Driving' system in low-visibility conditions. The investigation was initiated following reports of four crashes where Teslas equipped with the system encountered challenges such as sun glare, fog, and airborne dust, resulting in accidents, including a fatal one.
