Recently, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) announced that Tesla will recall a total of nearly 54,000 vehicles.
The Model 3, Model S, Model X, modelY models involving the installation of the fully automatic driver assistance software Full Self-Driving (FSD) Beta 2020.40.4.10 or later systems can be traced back to the production of cars in 2016.
According to the report, Tesla will remove the so-called "rolling stop" function of the FSD software through OTA, which was installed in Tesla's software update version on October 20 last year.
The feature allows cars to drive through "all-way stop" intersections where signs show a "all-way stop" that requires parking in all four directions at a maximum speed of 5.6 miles (9 kilometers) per hour, when it detects that there are no vehicles, pedestrians, or bicycles nearby.
As a result, the feature violates some state and local laws that require vehicles to stop at "all-way stops," prompting NHTSA to begin investigating Tesla.
NHTSA believes that Tesla's above software features violate traffic laws in most U.S. states, and if it is allowed to drive like that, the traffic police will issue a ticket to the driver.
NHTSA said it didn't know which state would allow rolling parking, and allowing such a feature increased the risk of crashes.
After two meetings with NHTSA officials in January, Tesla agreed to remove the rolling parking feature, recall the vehicles involved, and said that, to its knowledge, no warranty claims, crashes, injuries or deaths related to the recalls had been identified.
Last week, the number of FSD Beta vehicles in the U.S. increased to nearly 60,000 from a few thousand at the end of September last year. Tesla said it has been testing improved versions of its FSD on public roads, but it has reiterated several times that "these features don't make the car fully autonomous." ”
