A Tesla using company’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) beta software turned into a wrong lane and was hit by another car, prompting concerns about the safety of the system.
According to the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the incident involved a Model Y vehicle in FSD mode that crashed after mistakenly turning into the wrong lane.
The Tesla was then struck, leading to the car being 'severely damaged' on the driver’s side.
Nobody was injured in the crash, according to the NHTSA.
Tesla’s FSD Beta testing programme resulted in significant criticism with the company rolling out multiple updates as a result of reported bugs, a recall, and its decision to stifle untrained test drivers with NDAs.
