Tesla's Driver Assistance, Blinded by Sun Glare, Killed a Pedestrian
Tesla's FSD failed to detect a 71-year-old woman on an Arizona highway in low-visibility conditions, and Tesla later paid a settlement while denying the system was at fault. The car could not see her, and neither could the company.
