00:02The U.S. auto safety regulator expanded its probe into Tesla's driver assistance system
00:07to assess its ability to detect degraded road conditions after nine crashes,
00:11including one fatal incident, according to Reuters.
00:14The investigation covers about 3.2 million vehicles across multiple models sold in the United States.
00:20Regulators said the probe could lead to a recall or enforcement action if a safety defect is found.
00:25The review focuses on Tesla's degradation detection system, which is designed to identify impaired visibility and alert drivers.

00:40including glare or obstructions.
00:41Tesla did not immediately respond to Reuters' request for comment.
