U.S. safety regulators have pressured Tesla into recalling nearly 363,000 vehicles with its "Full Self-Driving" system because it misbehaves around intersections and doesn't always follow speed limits.U.S.
The agency has been investigating crashes involving Teslas using the system since August of 2021. Investigators have sent teams to probe more than 30 crashes since 2016 that have caused at least 14 deaths.and posted on the agency's website Thursday, NHTSA asks Tesla to describe all changes to the systems in the "design, material composition, manufacture, quality control, supply, function, or installation of the subject system, from the start of production to date.
A message was left early Thursday seeking comment from Tesla. The company says on its website that neither Autopilot nor "Full Self-Driving" can drive themselves and that drivers must be ready to intervene at all times. NHTSA’s request includes changes that Tesla made as part of a February recall of "Full Self-Driving" software. NHTSA pressured Tesla intowith the software because the system can break traffic laws. The problem was to be fixed with an online software update.
