Tesla settles FSD crash lawsuit as federal investigations continue
特斯拉就 FSD 车祸诉讼达成和解，联邦调查仍在继续
Tesla has settled a lawsuit connected to a fatal 2023 crash involving a vehicle using the company’s advanced driver assistance system known as Full Self-Driving. Bloomberg was first to report on the settlement. Terms were not disclosed. 特斯拉已就一起涉及其“全自动驾驶”（Full Self-Driving，简称 FSD）高级驾驶辅助系统的 2023 年致命车祸诉讼达成和解。彭博社率先报道了这一消息，但和解条款并未披露。
The lawsuit was filed against Tesla and the driver by the daughter of Johna Story, a 71-year-old woman who was struck by a Tesla Model Y. Story was hit after she stepped out of her own vehicle to direct traffic around a crash that had occurred earlier due to sun glare. 该诉讼由 71 岁的 Johna Story 的女儿对特斯拉及涉事司机提起。Story 女士当时被一辆特斯拉 Model Y 撞倒，事发前她正走出自己的车，试图指挥交通以避开此前因阳光眩光引发的另一起事故。
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) opened an investigation into Tesla’s FSD (Supervised) automated driving software in 2024 after four reported crashes in low visibility conditions — including the one involving Story. 美国国家公路交通安全管理局（NHTSA）在 2024 年对特斯拉的 FSD（监督版）自动驾驶软件展开了调查，此前该系统在低能见度条件下发生了四起报告事故，其中包括涉及 Story 女士的那起。
The NHTSA said, at the time, it was investigating the driver assistance system to find out whether it could “detect and respond appropriately to reduced roadway visibility conditions,” such as “sun glare, fog, or airborne dust.” NHTSA 当时表示，正在调查该驾驶辅助系统是否能够“识别并适当应对道路能见度降低的情况”，例如“阳光眩光、雾气或空气中的灰尘”。
That investigation was upgraded in March 2026 to an engineering analysis. In that report, the agency wrote “Available incident data raise concerns that Tesla’s degradation detection system, both as originally deployed and later updated, fails to detect and/or warn the driver appropriately under degraded visibility conditions such as glare and airborne obscurants.” 该调查于 2026 年 3 月升级为工程分析。在该报告中，该机构写道：“现有的事故数据引发了担忧，即特斯拉的退化检测系统（无论是最初部署的版本还是后续更新的版本），在眩光和空气遮挡物等能见度降低的情况下，未能适当地检测到危险和/或向驾驶员发出警告。”
While the settlement ends the family’s lawsuit, this upgraded NHTSA investigation has not yet been closed. At stake for Tesla for the federal investigation is a host of possible outcomes, including a recall. 虽然和解协议结束了受害者家属的诉讼，但 NHTSA 的这项升级调查尚未结案。对于特斯拉而言，联邦调查可能带来多种后果，包括车辆召回。
The federal agency also opened an investigation into FSD in October 2025 after receiving reports the software caused the vehicles to run red lights or cross into the wrong lane. 该联邦机构还在 2025 年 10 月对 FSD 展开了另一项调查，此前有报告称该软件导致车辆闯红灯或驶入错误车道。
