Tesla FSD gets worse at driving, NHTSA opens new investigation

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has opened a new investigation into Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) system. According to the report, the FSD software has been exhibiting concerning behavior, including crossing into oncoming traffic lanes and ignoring red traffic lights. The investigation comes after numerous incidents and user reports suggesting that the FSD system has been performing worse in recent updates, raising concerns about its safety and reliability. Tesla's FSD is an advanced driver-assistance system that is designed to enable autonomous driving, but it still requires the driver to remain alert and ready to take control of the vehicle at all times. The NHTSA's investigation will likely focus on determining the root causes of the FSD system's deteriorating performance and whether any software updates or recalls are necessary to address the safety issues. This development is a significant challenge for Tesla, which has been heavily promoting its FSD technology as a key feature of its vehicles.
