And it’s been the subject of controversy for years, including a recent ad that played during the [ Super Bowl](https://www.cnn.com/2023/02/12/business/super-bowl-ad-tesla-full-self-driving/index.html) in a few markets. That technology combines lane-keeping assist with adaptive cruise control to keep a car in a lane on a highway, as opposed to the promise of “full self-driving,” which Tesla says aims to one day be able to operate a vehicle without human supervision on a city street. “Accordingly, the agency’s investigation into Tesla’s Autopilot and associated vehicle systems remains open and active.” [said](https://www.cnn.com/2022/08/15/business/tesla-fsd-california-dmv/index.html) that the name “full self-driving” is “a deceptive practice” and grounds for suspending or revoking Tesla’s license to sell vehicles in the state. Tesla owners have filed a class-action lawsuit over the predictions and missed deadlines, which is still pending. Tesla and Musk have repeatedly claimed that FSD, even in its current “beta” form, is safer than cars driven solely by humans. But it has also repeatedly pushed back its own self-imposed deadlines. “Full self-driving,” as it currently stands, navigates local roads with steering, braking and acceleration, but requires a human driver prepared to take control at any moment, as the system makes judgment errors. It said Tesla is not aware of any injuries or deaths caused in those incidents. There have been “It’s very clear.

Tesla to Recall 362000 Cars With Its 'Full Self Driving' System (The New York Times)

A federal auto safety agency said the technology can cause crashes, but said the company was unaware of any deaths or injuries caused by the flaws.

The recall involves all four of the models the company makes and covers vehicles produced from 2016 to 2023. The automaker intends to notify owners of the recalled vehicles by mail no later than April 15. One of their biggest fears is that people will become so lulled into thinking that their cars are driving themselves that they will not be able to take control when the technology malfunctions or handle certain traffic conditions. Tesla’s technology, which is installed in many more cars than the systems offered by other automakers, was being used in 273 crashes, five of which were fatal. It also instructs car owners to keep their hands on the steering wheel and eyes on the road. The safety agency noted that the recall addressed only one set of concerns it had with Full Self Driving and that it was continuing to investigate the system and less advanced technology that Tesla calls Autopilot.

Tesla's 2023 Recall of Full Self-Driving Targets a 'Fundamental' Flaw (WIRED)

Tesla's recall means that more than 360000 vehicles will receive an over-the-air update after the US government said that Autopilot can be dangerous in some ...

The probe looked into why vehicles using Tesla’s Autopilot feature have a history of [colliding with stationary first responder vehicles](https://www.wired.com/story/tesla-autopilot-why-crash-radar/). The car is designed to buzz and beep when it determines that the human driver needs to take over. Today’s recall shows that the US government is “dipping its toe in the water” when it comes to setting firmer limits on not only Tesla’s ambitious technology, but all automakers’ advanced driver assistance features, Koopman says. “That’s a fundamental issue with this technology: You have a short reaction time to avoid these situations, and people aren’t good at that if they’re trained to think that the car does the right thing,” he says. The move was prompted by a US government agency saying the software had in “rare circumstances” put drivers in danger and could increase the risk of a crash in everyday situations. Drivers will be able to continue to use the feature as Tesla builds a software patch for the defects.

The Massive Tesla Recall Isn't Just Elon Musk's Fault (Slate Magazine)

On Wednesday the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced a massive recall of Teslas equipped with Full-Self Driving Beta, the technology ...

As a result, carmakers are free to design and install whatever technology they like, as long as their vehicle conforms with the outdated FMVSS, which was drafted under the assumption that a driver is always handling the car. [does not require](https://www.theverge.com/2022/9/12/23339219/us-auto-regulation-type-approval-self-certification-av-tesla) that automated car technology be tested and approved for safety before being offered to the public. We trust you.” Manufacturers place a sticker on each new vehicle stating that it complies with the experiences [under 0.1 deaths](https://doi.org/10.1016/j.retrec.2012.12.011) per billion passenger miles, less than 1/100th the risk of dying in a car crash. But for autos, the U.S. [recall](https://www.nhtsa.gov/vehicle/2018/TESLA/MODEL%2525203/4%252520DR/RWD#recalls) of Teslas equipped with Full-Self Driving Beta, the technology that enables vehicles to control aspects of driving, such as turning and adjusting speed, in urban environments. We can prevent that from happening by requiring that these technologies receive pre-approval before they are sold to the public. Notably, there is no similar FSD recall in the European Union, because Tesla hasn’t received the green light to offer it there. The recall is voluntary, meaning that it was jointly agreed upon by Tesla and NHTSA. Assuming Tesla does claim to have resolved the FSD problems NHTSA flagged, Americans may well have to take the company’s word for it. The NHTSA recall affects over 360,000 Teslas with FSD, which is [pretty much all](https://insideevs.com/news/629094/tesla-how-many-buy-fsd/) of them. According to NHTSA, FSD “may allow the vehicle to act unsafe [sic] around intersections, such as driving straight through an intersection while in a turn-only lane.” That sounds bad, as do other FSD behaviors cited by the federal car-safety agency, including speeding, rolling through stop signs, and running yellow traffic lights “without due caution.”

Tesla Recalls Models With Full Self-Driving Due to Software-Related ... (ConsumerReports.org)

Tesla recalls Model 3, Model Y, Model S, and Model X to provide an over-the-air update to improve the safety of its Full Self Driving (FSD) feature.

Because automakers issue recalls often, and for many older vehicles, we recommend checking back regularly to see whether your vehicle has had a recall issued. How to contact the manufacturer: Owners are expected to be notified by mail by April 15, 2023. The NHTSA documents indicate that Tesla decided to issue a recall on February 7, 2023, and that the automaker did not concur with the agency’s analysis. In January, 2023, NHTSA notified the automaker it had concerns about how the vehicles with that software performed in the four environments noted above. - 2016-2023 Model S [Model S](https://www.consumerreports.org/cars/tesla/model-s/), [Model X](https://www.consumerreports.org/cars/tesla/model-x/), [Model 3](https://www.consumerreports.org/cars/tesla/model-3/), and [Model Y](https://www.consumerreports.org/cars/tesla/model-y/) vehicles from the 2016 through 2023 model years to address situations where the Autosteer on City Streets feature (called Full Self-Driving Beta or FSD Beta) may cause the vehicle to “infringe upon local traffic laws or customs” when operating under the following conditions:

Regulators force Tesla to recall 363000 'Full Self-Driving' vehicles (PBS NewsHour)

The recall is another in a list of problems that Tesla has with the U.S. 7, Tesla decided to do the recall out of an abundance of caution, “while not concurring with the agency’s analysis.” In January, the company disclosed that the U.S. In a statement, NHTSA said it found the problems during tests performed as part of an investigation into Tesla’s “Full Self-Driving” and “Autopilot” software that take on some driving tasks. 25, as part of regular communications with Tesla, it told the automaker about concerns with FSD, and it asked Tesla to do a recall. The automaker, he says, relies only on cameras and artificial intelligence to make driving decisions, a system that will make mistakes. At least 14 Teslas have crashed into emergency vehicles while using the Autopilot system. The documents say Tesla is doing the recall but does not agree with an agency analysis of the problem. The problems happen in “certain rare circumstances,” the agency wrote. Tesla has received 18 warranty claims that could be caused by the software from May of 2019 through Sept. If they could have fixed it, they would have fixed it a long time back.” Musk at one point had promised that a fleet of autonomous robotaxis would be in use in 2020.
