Automaker Tesla is recalling nearly all its vehicles sold in the U.S. between Oct. 5, 2012, and Dec. 7. The recall is to fix a system that’s supposed to ensure drivers are paying attention while using the autopilot feature.
Tesla’s autopilot is intended to enable cars to steer, accelerate, and brake automatically within their lane, while its enhanced autopilot (Autosteer) can assist in changing lanes on highways but does not make vehicles autonomous. Drivers are expected to have their hands on the wheel and be ready to intervene.
The recall comes after a two-year investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration into 35 crashes that have taken place since June 2016 with autopilot in use.
Tesla said it did not agree with NHTSA’s analysis but would deploy a software update that will “incorporate additional controls and alerts to those already existing on affected vehicles to further encourage the driver to adhere to their continuous driving responsibility whenever Autosteer is engaged.”
We get the latest on the recall and if lawmakers think this will improve Tesla road safety.

..."The recall affects 2021-2023 Model S and Model X vehicles as the units fail to comply with certain federal safety standards for side-impact protection.
Tesla recalled over 2 million vehicles in the U.S. last week, its largest ever recall, covering nearly all of its vehicles on the country's roads. It had said the recall was done to install new safeguards in its Autopilot advanced driver-assistance system, after a federal regulator cited safety concerns."

Until there is a responsible autopilot feature they need to be totally ripped out of every vehicle they are in. MHO
