Tesla is to issue a fix for more than 50,000 vehicles in the US over a feature for its Full Self-Driving software that is said to cause the vehicle not to stop at some junctions.<\/p>\n

According to recall documents on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s website [PDF<\/a>], Tesla has agreed to disable the feature via an over-the-air (OTA) software update. It is expected to begin deploying the update to affected vehicles in the next week or so.<\/p>\n

It appears Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (Beta) software included a feature that emulates driver behaviour found to be common in some places in the US, but which is also against the law in most if not all states.<\/p>\n

This is the practice of slowing to a crawl at a junction, but not actually coming to a complete halt. Instead, the driver is able to pick up speed again if the way is clear.<\/p>\n

However, the NHTSA has taken the view that failing to halt for a stop sign at junctions could increase the risk of a crash, and sought meetings with Tesla to get it to change this feature. According to the documents, this covers the 2016-2022 Model S and Model X, 2017-2022 Model 3, and 2020-2022 Model Y vehicles.<\/p>\n
