The American DGT is looking into withdrawing 800,000 Tesla vehicles from the market due to problems with Autopilot software.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) announced on Thursday that it will expand its investigation into Tesla’s autopilot system. which could mean a recall of more than 800,000 vehicles. And with this case, they’re already…

The leading national vehicle safety agency has put forward plans to update its preliminary assessment, which began last August, into a technical analysis that it is the next step in a potential recall of hundreds of thousands of Tesla vehicles.

NHTSA plans to delve into how Tesla vehicles equipped with driver-assistance software called autopilot interact with ambulances. and police cars when traffic accidents occur.

This is not the first time Tesla has been investigated by the NHTSA. In August 2021, the NHTSA launched an initial investigation into Tesla Advanced Driver Assistance Systems due to reports of accidents in which 17 people were injured and one died. And it was not the first.

The NYT reported that the NHTSA there were 191 known failures with autopilot, full self-driving (FSD) or related functions. The increase in the number of accidents (and, even worse, fatalities) makes an investigation mandatory.

According to NHTSA, Tesla calls its autopilot system “an SAE level 2 driving automation system designed to support and assist the driver.” And Elon Musk admits there’s a lot of work to be done.

In addition, FSD Beta 10.12.2 is now expanding to 100,000 vehicles. 10.13 smoothes the control of intersections, especially long left ones, and starts processing roads without map data at all. The last point is of great importance. Within a few months, FSD will be able to get to a GPS point with zero map data.

For those who don’t know the software is designed to help drivers drive their vehicles using a combination of cameras and artificial intelligence. to detect other vehicles, pedestrians, traffic lights, etc.

Nonetheless, A few days ago, Elon Musk bragged on Twitter that self-driving Tesla cars would soon be capable of “drive on roads without any map data“and what”within a few months the FSD should be able to get to a GPS point with zero map data..”
