Tesla recalls Full Self-Driving update from over 50,000 electric cars

Tesla is issuing a recall of its recent software update for its popular electric cars. The EV company had rolled out a “Full Self-Driving” (FSD) feature as a beta feature. However, this new feature seems to have some issues in dealing with the stop signs. The update allowed cars to roll through stop signs at a very slow pace.

According to a report by US-based network, ABC News, the new feature first appeared with the FSD 10.3 update. The feature was introduced as a part of the assertive profile. Due to this feature, Tesla electric cars would move at a speed of up 9 kmph through stop signs t 4-way intersections.

Tesla had a couple of meeting with US govt agency, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) officials. According to the govt agency, if a car fails to stop at a stop sign, it could lead to fatal crashes and accidents. Tesla claims that it is not aware of any specific accident or crash caused by this new feature.

Following the meetings, Tesla decided to recall the affected electric cars. According to a report by Engadget, around 54,000 Tesla cars will be affected by this software update flaw. The cars in the crash will include 2016-2022 Model S and X EVs, 2017-2022 Model 3s and 2020-2022 Model Ys. The company will be sending a patch for the new flaw by early February.

Previously, the company had also made a recall due to the FSD feature. The cars were giving out false forward collision warnings and there were some bugs with the auto-steering as well. While this feature is called Full Self Driving, Tesla legally only provides Level 2 self-driving features.
