Tesla joined the caravan of companies recalling thousands of their vehicles due to software errors. In the latest statement from Tesla, it was stated that more than 2 million models will be recalled due to some problems in the driver support system. This decision came after the United States found that the autopilot system was inadequate.
USA found vulnerabilities in Tesla autopilot system
As part of the recall, Tesla will have to fix more than 2 million vehicles. However, this process will not be carried out by visiting Tesla dealers. It was stated that models that have been produced since 2012 and have autopilot will be corrected through a software update.
According to the automobile giant’s statement, the driver’s participation during autonomous driving will be increased with visual warnings within the scope of the update. In addition, Autosteer, one of the important features of the autopilot, will be enabled by default.
With the new update, autopilot will only be used as an “auxiliary driving support”. In other words, the aim is to ensure that drivers behind the wheel pay attention to the road and that the autopilot does not replace people.
Let us explain that the recall in the USA does not affect the models in our country. However, it should not be forgotten that Tesla may send the software update to different countries and thus want to increase driver participation.
Tesla disagreed with assessments that the US’s tracking of autonomous driving is inadequate. In this regard, the company stated that it would carry out a recall to conclude the investigation. Security will be increased by updating vehicles produced since 2012.
