Tesla's Recall Of 2 Million Cars For Autopilot Flaws Raises Concerns

Tesla's recent recall of over 2 million electric vehicles (EVs) to address concerns related to its Autopilot system may face challenges, as reported by the Associated Press (AP).

The recall aims to enhance driver attention while using Autopilot, but research suggests that the technology employed may not function as intended.

The recall aims to enhance driver attention while using Autopilot, but research suggests that the technology employed may not function as intended.

The recall, initiated after a two-year investigation by the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), found defects in Tesla's driver-monitoring system. The system alerts drivers when it fails to detect torque from hands on the steering wheel.

Experts criticize this method as ineffective. Tesla plans to implement an online software change to increase warnings and alerts, but the specifics of how this will work remain unclear.

The NHTSA began its investigation in 2021 after reports of Tesla vehicles using the Autopilot system colliding with parked emergency vehicles. The investigation uncovered 11 such incidents, prompting concerns about the effectiveness of Tesla's driver-monitoring system.
