You might have heard that Tesla's self-driving tech has been in the news again. This time, it's because one of their cars with the Full Self-Driving (FSD) feature hit and killed a pedestrian. The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) is looking into this, along with three other similar crashes. All these happened in conditions where visibility was poor, like fog or dust.

The investigation is checking if FSD can handle low visibility well. They're also looking into whether any updates to the software made things better or worse. This isn't the first issue Tesla's self-driving tech has faced. In the past, NHTSA linked Tesla's Autopilot to over 200 crashes and 29 deaths.

Tesla has been sued over accidents linked to their driver assistance tech. In one case, a man died after a Tesla hit his motorcycle. The company has also been accused of false advertising and is being investigated by the Department of Justice.

Elon Musk, Tesla's CEO, has said they won't settle unjust cases. But he's also made big promises about their self-driving tech that haven't come true yet. This latest investigation could affect their plans to test and approve their new self-driving vehicle, the Cybercab.
