Tesla recalls 362k vehicles to remove "Full Self Driving" feature

The recall text itself HERE under remedy indicates that a software update adjusting and improving the way the vehicle handles the various circumstances the recall is about.

Exactly. From news reports, the problems are apparently deep and numerous enough and the FSD promise so obviously empty that a couple of updates (no doubt rushed out) won’t be enough to save the feature. The company will pull it, Musk will whinge to his fanbois about the bad ol’ government, and Prince Bonesaw and the banks will eventually find themselves with TSLA shares that are worth less than they expected when they loaned the genius billions so that his tweets would show up first.

Right now it’s just goalpost shifting and backpedaling to buy time once they get in trouble with regulators (one of the behaviours that Musk’s worshipers emulate).

That is the remedy proposed by Tesla, not the one accepted by the NTSB. Tweaking the interface isn’t going to satisfy NTSB for long.

for real. if they had the fixes, they would have shipped them out already.

if it were a recall for physical issues: bad tail lights, improperly installed floor mats, batteries that explode… then it’s just a matter of money for them to fix the issues. people bring the car in, a mechanic does stuff, problem solved

this is software, and they can release fixes whenever they like. that they suddenly have fixes for major issues ( like going straight through turn only lanes! ) at the very moment a regulator notices the problem: it’s not believable

they’ll release something new to stave off the inevitable removal of the feature. and hopefully it doesn’t kill (more) people in the meantime

Also just to be clear, they’re not removing the feature, it sounds like.

EDIT: Which everyone already discussed. Here I am, late to parties again :stuck_out_tongue:

Tesla’s self-driving code may ignore stop signs, act unsafe. Patch coming … soon

Contains links to the actual NHTSA documents.
