Tesla Recalls Full Self Driving Feature, Here’s How To Get The Update
The Tesla rolling stops controversy is over after the company issued a recall for all models running the self-driving feature. Tesla's self-driving software recently jumped into the news for autonomously executing rolling stops. Rollings stops, or California stops, are illegal in most U.S. states. When a car does not entirely break at a stop sign or a red light, it does a rolling stop. The speed at which a rolling stop is done is usually very slow. However, traffic safety authorities have warned that they are dangerous, especially for pedestrians and cyclists, and other vehicles near the crossing intersections.
It is not the first time Tesla had a recall. In December, about half a million Tesla cars were recalled due to a rearview camera and trunk defects that posed a safety risk. And in November, Tesla issued a recall for over 11.7 thousand vehicles due to a software glitch that caused cars to activate the automatic emergency brake for no reason. Tesla's full self-driving is truly in beta stages and has been posing problems since its launch. However, Tesla says that the software in beta version is necessary to reach real self-driving.

Tesla owners who are using the full self-driving beta software are not required to take any actions. The recall and software update will happen in early February and be done with an over-the-air software update. In a new recall document made available by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTS), Tesla officially recalled 53,822 vehicles. These include all Model S, X and Y, operating software 2020.40.4.10 or newer that contain Full Self-Driving (Beta).
