— Tesla Full Self-Driving (FSD) crashes are under investigation, after four previous incidents occurred while partially automated systems were still running.
One of the accidents involved a 2021 Tesla Model Y, resulting in the death of a pedestrian.
Tesla FSD accident investigations cover approximately 2.4 million of these vehicles:
2016-2024 Tesla Model S
2016-2024 Tesla Model X
2017-2024 Tesla Model 3
2020-2024 Tesla Model Y
2023-2024 Tesla Cybertruck
NHTSA found the reports under its Standing Order (SGO), which collects incidents involving self-driving technology.
Tesla calls its FSD a “partial driving automation system,” and its FSD-Beta or FSD-Supervised modes are available as optional systems, according to NHTSA.
Tesla accidents occur when road visibility is reduced due to sunlight, fog or dust in the air.
While a pedestrian was killed in a 2021 Tesla Model Y FSD crash, a separate crash report stated that someone was injured.
The following are the standing order report numbers and the Tesla models involved:
13781-8004 / 2021 Tesla Model Y (dead)
13781-7181 / 2022 Tesla Model 3
13781-7381 / 2019 Tesla Model 3
13781-7767 / 2022 Tesla Model 3
The government has launched a Tesla FSD crash investigation to look into work done to deal with reduced road visibility and whether more than the four crashes known to NHTSA occurred.
Regulators also want to know about any updates or modifications Tesla has made to the FSD system that could affect FSD performance in conditions of reduced road visibility. In particular, this review will evaluate the timing, purpose and functionality of any such updates, for example, and Tesla’s assessment of their safety impact. “
