Elon Musk is the chief executive of Tesla. AP Last month, the NHTSA stepped up its investigation of Tesla’s “Full Self-Driving” technology as it continues to investigate nine crashes, including a fatality. The agency is also evaluating six recent potentially related incidents, it said in March. The probe dates back to 2024, after a Tesla in Full Self-Driving mode fatally hit a 28 year-old motorcyclist in Seattle. The driver of the Tesla was charged with vehicular manslaughter. The “FSD” technology, which requires a driver to be present, failed to detect poor driving conditions and alert drivers in time to react, the administration said. The software failed to detect “common roadway conditions that impaired camera visibility” until it was too late for the driver to respond, according to the feds.
