federal investigation into whether Tesla's partial-automation system marketed as Full Self-Driving is defective after a series of crashes, one of which resulted in a fatality.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said Friday it will assess whether Tesla's system, also known as FSD, has the ability to detect and appropriately respond to fog and other reduced visibility conditions.
The agency said four crashes have been reported in such scenarios where FSD was engaged.
In one of those crashes, the Tesla vehicle fatally struck a pedestrian, and another collision resulted in a reported injury, according to NHTSA. Tesla representatives didn't respond to an emailed request for comment.
The probe marks a potentially major setback to CEO Elon Musk's efforts to position Tesla as a leader in automated driving.
