Tesla recalls 363,000 self-driving vehicles over collision risk [Video]
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:
- Tesla recalled nearly 363,000 vehicles equipped with Full Self-Driving Beta (FSD Beta) software over a potential collision risk.
- The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said that the software may cause the vehicles “to act unsafe around intersections.”
- Tesla is expected to correct the issue through an over-the-air software update by April 1.
Nearly 363,000 Tesla vehicles equipped with Full Self-Driving beta software have been recalled over a potential collision risk.
On Thursday, the electric car company confirmed that it is recalling “certain 2016-2023 Model S, Model X, 2017-2023 Model 3, and 2020-2023 Model Y vehicles equipped with Full Self-Driving Beta (FSD Beta) software or pending installation.” A total of 362,758 vehicles were affected by the recall.
The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration explained that the self-driving beta software system “may allow the vehicle to act unsafe around intersections.”
This includes “traveling straight through an intersection while in a turn-only lane, entering a stop sign-controlled intersection without coming to a complete stop, or proceeding into an intersection during a steady yellow traffic signal without due caution.” Such actions could lead to crashes.
The agency said that they expect Tesla to correct the issue through an over-the-air software update by April 1.
Tesla’s FSD Beta allows its drivers to try out unfinished driver assistance on public roads in the U.S., but such technology is still considered unsafe without a driver at the wheel and ready to steer.
The system is only available to drivers who installed Tesla’s premium FSD driver assistance system, which costs up to $199 (£130) per month or $15,000 (£13,000) upfront. Drivers must also earn and maintain a high driver-safety score via Tesla software, which monitors driving habits.
Tesla touts the software’s ability to “autosteer on city streets.” This allows the vehicle to automatically move around urban areas, but it still doesn’t allow the cars to move around perfectly.
Tesla said that a software update should correct the issues. The company added that it has not received reports on any injuries or deaths related to the issue.

Who would have thunk that a car driven by basically a home computer would have a “collision risk”. It’s not like home computers ever crash.

Now, now! Some of the crashes may be FBI False Flag targeted hacks and not accidents.

Even if a computer a computer is working exactly like it’s supposed to, I don’t think there is a computer that can’t be hacked into.
Even the counters that are used in stores, the EDD OFFICES THE IRS HAVE BEEN RIPPED OFF BY COMPUTER GEEKS..
