Tesla's self-driving cars under fire again

Tesla's self-driving technology, known as the Full Self-Driving (FSD) system, has come under renewed scrutiny after the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) opened a federal investigation. The investigation was prompted by 58 reports of crashes involving Tesla vehicles equipped with the FSD system, six of which involved the vehicles running red lights before colliding with other cars. The investigation raises concerns about the safety and reliability of Tesla's autonomous driving technology, which has been the subject of previous investigations and controversies. Critics have argued that the FSD system, which is still in beta testing, may not be ready for widespread use and could pose a risk to public safety. Tesla has defended its technology, stating that the FSD system is designed to enhance driver safety and that the company is committed to continuous improvement. However, the latest investigation highlights the need for more rigorous testing and oversight of self-driving technologies to ensure they meet the highest safety standards.
