Tesla is recalling more than 50,000 cars in the US because the AI behind itsfeature acted too aggressively, rolling past stop signs rather than coming fully to a halt as required by law in many states.
The company’s Full Self-Driving code had been continuing through stop signs at up to 5.6 miles per hour.that are currently running firmware version 2020.40.4.10, which contains the “rolling stop” feature. Tesla has agreed to disable it remotely on all affected cars, including its Model 3, Model S, Model X and Model Y.The rolling stop feature was introduced by Tesla in October, but the NHTSA says that failing to come to a complete stop “may increase the risk of collision”.
Tesla staff met the NHTSA on 10 and 19 January, before agreeing on 20 January to a recall in “early February”.Despite the name of the Full Self-Driving feature, the company requires owners to watch at all times and be ready to step in and take control if the software acts dangerously. The code remains in beta, which means it is still undergoing testing, but more than 50,000 people are currently testing it, Tesla told investors last month – most of them in the US.
