VinFast EV: Federal regulators investigating fatal Pleasanton crash that killed family of 4

Peter Valdes-Dapena, CNNFederal regulators are investigating fatal Pleasanton crash that killed family of 4 riding in VinFast EV.

The SUV was being driven by one of the owner's coworkers with the coworker's family when the fatal crash occurred, according to the complaint. The occupants killed included two children in the back seat. Earlier, while the owner was driving, the same vehicle had unexpectedly steered to the right, according to the complaint, in at least two instances. In at least one of those cases, the SUV's automatic driving assistance features, designed to automatically help the vehicle steer within its own lane, were turned on "by default." The driver was able to regain control, bringing the vehicle back into the proper lane, according to the complaint.

It's not clear if the vehicle's Advanced Driving Assistance features were involved in the fatal crash. NHTSA has been investigating numerous incidents involving vehicles from a number of automakers, including Tesla and Ford, in which ADAS systems were in use at the time. Media reports, citing local police, have said that speed was a factor in the crash.
