Tesla FSD under intensified NHTSA probe over reduced-visibility safety
March 20, 2026, 12:14 AM EDT. U.S. safety regulator NHTSA has escalated its probe into Tesla's driver-assistance system branded as Full Self-Driving (FSD), turning a preliminary review into an engineering analysis to assess safety in fog, glare and other reduced-visibility conditions. The investigation, begun last year, covers about 3.2 million vehicles across the Model S, X, 3, Y and Cybertruck lines capable of using FSD. Regulators say FSD may fail to detect or warn drivers under degraded visibility, and in several crashes it did not alert or detect impaired camera visibility until just before impact. The escalation follows a string of incidents where FSD was active within seconds of a crash, including a fatal pedestrian collision. Tesla did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
