According to overseas** reports, due to a flaw in Tesla's autopilot attention protection system in autonomous driving, it may cause drivers to abuse the car's self-driving function, thereby increasing the risk of car accidents. Recently, Tesla has filed a recall with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) for 2,031,220 Tesla vehicles manufactured in 2012. This widespread recall affects model year 2012-2023 Model S, model year 2016-2023 Model X, model year 2020-2023, and model year 2017-2017 models. And the 2023 Tesla Model 3 comes with all versions of the company's Autosteer technology.
According to Tesla's filing with NHTSA, the company will release an over-the-air update in the future to address the issue. The update will include additional controls and alerts for functions already in the system, as well as more frequent checks and alerts to the driver by the autopilot system when the car is driving outside the highway.
The NHTSA file also shows that Model S, Model X, Model Y, and Model 3 vehicles in production received software versions with remediation as of noon on December 7, 2023.
