Tesla self-driving bug affects more than 360,000 vehicles, leads to recall

Tesla has instituted a voluntary recall of 362,758 vehicles spanning a range of models due to flawed self-driving software, Kallanish learns from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. 

The beta software “allows a vehicle to exceed [the] speed limit or travel through intersections in an unlawful or unpredictable manner,” the NHTSA says in a recall notice. 

The full self-driving beta, present on the 2016-2023 Model S and Model X, as well as the 2017-2023 Model 3 and 2020-2023 Model Y will be remedied with an over-the-air update. 

NHTSA has been investigating Tesla’s so-called self-driving software since 13 August, 2021. 

“The investigation opening was motivated by an accumulation of crashes in which Tesla vehicles, operating with Autopilot engaged, struck stationary in-road or roadside first responder vehicles tending to pre-existing collision scenes,” the administration says.
