Federal Safety Investigators have sent a detailed list of questions to Tesla on their upcoming robotics service. Inquest This includes how the company’s “full self -driving (monitoring)” software works in low display conditions.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Office Investigation Full Self Driving (Surveillance)-Wants additional information about “FSD” so that “to understand how Tesla plans to evaluate her vehicles and use on public roads for use, technologies for use on public roads” According to the letter Monday and first appeared Reported by Reuters.
Tesla Austin has not been silent about plans to launch a paid robotics service in Texas, in which her fleet vehicles were used in the coming June. But it appears that Tesla’s post on April 23 gained the attention of federal regulators.
They Post, which is quoted in the letter, read: “The FSD -monitored ride service is directly for the initial set of early employees in Austin and San Francisco Bay Area. We have completed more than 1.5K visits and 15km of driving. This service helps us to help FSD networks, mobile app, vehicle allocation, mission control and remote relief operations.”
In October, the NHTSA launched Tesla’s “full self -driving (under supervision) software in October after reporting four accidents in low recovery conditions. Tesla’s FSD software is an advanced driver relief system that requires the driver to keep the wheel, even in some environment and conditions handle driving operations such as breaking and steering.
Tesla’s CEO Elon Musk has said that robotics will use the “unorganized” version of its full self -driving software yet.
In its May letter, the agency sent a series of questions to Tesla that aims to determine if its planned robotics system is the same – or similarly – under the supervision of FSD. The agency has sought details about the size of the fleet and which vehicles will be used in the robotics service, Tesla plans to determine whether its robotics system is safe and if the automated driving system has any relations with the FSD monitoring product.
Investigators also told Tesla that they “intend to” ensure the safety of the roadway display, such as sunlight, fog, breeze dust, rain or snow in the snow. “
