STORY: U.S. stocks ended lower on Thursday, with the Dow dropping just under half a percent, and the S&P 500 and Nasdaq each shedding more than a quarter of a percent.Investors remained cautious a day after Fed Chair Jerome Powell warned of economic uncertainty, with the Middle East conflict sending energy prices soaring and creating fears of inflation.Interest rate futures suggest traders see little chance of rate cuts before mid-2027, according to the CME's FedWatch tool.

The investigation is tied to concerns the system may fail to detect or warn drivers in poor visibility.
