Tesla is not getting out of serious trouble, again an investigation has been started by the US government. The reason for this review is, of course, as you can imagine, this feature of Tesla does not work properly. Similarly, we talked about the security problem in Tesla vehicles, the Boombox feature, and the Tesla vehicles that were recalled due to security problems.
The crisis that has emerged at Tesla now is a feature included in the vehicle’s autonomous driving mode. According to the news, many users; He complains that the automatic braking feature called ‘Phantom Braking’, which can be translated into Turkish as ‘Phantom Braking’, works unbalanced. Let’s see what the situation is.
416,000 Tesla vehicles to be inspected
What led to an investigation involving 416,000 Tesla Model Y and Model 3 vehicles is the ‘phantom braking’ feature in the past 9 months. 354 complaints were received regarding the issue. What users are complaining about is that Tesla vehicles suddenly brake themselves in the middle of the road while in autonomous mode.
According to the report published by the USA’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), there has not been an accident, injury or death due to this yet. Other explanations made in particular in the report are as follows;
“Complaints state that the vehicle unexpectedly brakes on the highway while using its autonomous features, including adaptive cruise control. Complainants say that when speeding, a warning is not given before sudden braking is applied, and this happens randomly. NHTSA has expanded the scope of the potential problem. and initiates this review to determine its severity and to fully assess potential security issues.”
Although Tesla tells its customers, ‘Look, when you switch to this autonomous mode, the control is not entirely in the car, be careful’, both customers and authorities are dissatisfied with the situation. For this reason, Tesla, the world’s largest automotive company, has had a lot of headaches with the other three investigations in recent days; It would not be wrong to say that it will continue to hurt.
