The company of Elon Musk said on Thursday that, although not I agreed with the decision, voluntarily accepted the notice and recalled 362,758 vehicles in the United States to update their Beta Full Self-Driving (FSD) software after the regulators said the driver assistance system is not working work they do not fulfill sufficiently traffic rules and can cause accidents.
The vehicles of the technology company, which can drive, accelerate, braking and changing lanes on their own, allow them to travel at speeds greater than legal boundaries and crossing “illegal or unpredictable” intersections, according to him National Highway Traffic Safety Authority (NHTSA) .
A federal organization claims that the Tesla software “increases risk of accidents”. The agency's testing and analysis shows that components of the driving system in urban areas can create an unreasonable risk for vehicle safety motorized vehicles due to insufficient compliance with safety laws road or injuries constructed by defects determined by the agency.
Shares of the electric car company fell 1.6 percent on Thursday.
Tesla to release free over-the-air (OTA) software update, and the EV maker confirmed that it was not aware of any potential claim, but it had 18 warranty claims.
NHTSA pointed out that this withdrawal of Vehicle market only addresses some of the concerns about the autonomous driving system and will continue to investigate the less advanced system and technology that Tesla calls Autopilot. The actions of Electric car maker fell 1.6% to $210.76 on Thursday in the afternoon.
The recall applies to vehicles Model S, Model X, 3 2017-2023 and Model Y 2016-2023 who have installed the FSD Beta software or are in the process of installing it.
The decision of the NHTSA is a rare intervention by federal regulators in a real-world testing program that the company believes is crucial to the driverless car development. FSD Beta is used by hundreds of thousands of Tesla customers.
The setback for the effort Tesla autonomous management occurs about two weeks ahead of the company's investor day on March 1, when it is expected that the CEO Elon Musk increase the capabilities of car manufacturer artificial intelligence for vehicles electric and plans to expand its range of vehicles.
NHTSA has an investigation in progress started in 2021 over 830,000 Tesla vehicles equipped with systems Autopilot driver assistance for a series of accidents that involved parked emergency vehicles.
This investigating whether Tesla cars They are paying enough attention to the drivers. NHTSA said Thursday that the investigation into Tesla's Autopilot and systems of related vehicles remains open and active despite the withdrawal of the FSD.
Tesla recalls 54,000 vehicles in US with FSD Beta software
“In some rare cases, this feature may violate traffic laws and local customs when performing certain driving maneuvers,” Tesla said.
The possible situations in which it could occur the problem include traveling or turning at certain intersections during a yellow light and changing lanes outside certain turning lanes to continue traveling in a straight line, NHTSA said.
NHTSA said “the system may not respond sufficiently to changes in posted speed limits or may not adequately consider the driver's adjustment of vehicle speed to exceed posted speed limits.”
Last year, Tesla recalled nearly 54,000 vehicles Americans equipped with the FSD software Beta that could allow some models to perform "Continuous stops" and don't finish ccompletely at certain intersections, which represents a security riskNHTSA said.

Tesla and NHTSA They agree that the greater capacity of FSD driving does not make cars drive alone and requires the driver's attention.
This It is clear when, despite the name, the company claims that the system cannot drive itself and tell the owners that they are ready at all times while using this technology. He also ordered them to use their hands on the steering wheel and watch the road.
