Tesla To be remember 362,758 vehicles — 2016-2023 Model WILL And Model X2017-2023 sample 3and 2020-2023 Model Y — equipped with “Full Self-Driving” to address many of the problems with software behavior that could put the driver and surrounding traffic at risk of collisions. According to Tesla’s bug report sent to NHTSA (All available here), cars equipped with FSD Beta “likely to violate traffic laws or customs while doing some driving.”
What traffic law exactly is Tesla referring to? Things like stopping at a stop sign, using the correct lane to turn an intersection, and obeying posted speed limits – violations that Tesla detractors and even loyal Tesla owners , have been sounding the alarm for months. In Tesla’s words, these behaviors “can increase the risk of a collision if the driver does not intervene.” Here’s what else the company has to say:
“The FSD Beta system can allow vehicles to act unsafely around an intersection, such as going straight through an intersection while in a turn-only lane, entering an intersection with a stop sign without coming to a complete stop. or enter an intersection during a continuous yellow traffic signal without proper caution,” Tesla’s recall confirmation reads. “Additionally, the system may respond inadequately to changes in posted speed limits or fail to account for the driver’s adjustment of the vehicle’s speed to exceed the posted speed limit.”
“In the specific and rare circumstances described above when a Tesla vehicle is operating with the software version of the FSD Beta as described below and with the FSD Beta activated, some of the most may violate traffic laws or local customs.
“As of February 14, 2023, Tesla has identified 18 guarantee The report said, received between May 8, 2019 and September 12, 2022, may be related to the conditions described above. “Tesla is not aware of any injuries or deaths that may be related to such conditions.”
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said in documents posted Thursday that Tesla will address the concerns with an online software update in the next few weeks. The documents say Tesla is working on the recall but disagree with the agency’s analysis of the system’s flaws.
“FSD beta software that allows vehicles to exceed speed limits or illegally or unpredictable intersections increases the risk of a collision,” the agency said.
Tesla did not immediately respond to a request for comment, but Elon Musk commented on the matter on Twitter.
“The word ‘recall’ for an over-the-air software update is outdated and completely false,” Musk tweeted.
