Tesla Inc. is recalling 362,758 vehicles due to a crash risk associated with its Full Self-Driving Beta software, according to U.S. authorities. The system may allow unsafe maneuvers, such as proceeding through a steady-yellow light, and Tesla is expected to update the software by April 15. The shares fell 1.1% after the recall notice. The agency first notified Tesla of the issue on Jan. 25 and the company decided to recall out of caution on Feb. 7. Tesla is not aware of any injuries or deaths related to the defect. Representatives of Tesla didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment.
The recent recalls of autonomous cars have raised serious concerns about the safety and reliability of this technology, which is a major concern for the trucking industry. As autonomous vehicles become more prevalent on our roads, these potential hazards must be addressed to ensure that they are safe for both drivers and passengers alike. The recalls will likely lead to increased scrutiny over the development process and implementation of new technologies in the trucking industry, as well as an increase in regulations surrounding their use. This could result in delays or changes in plans for further advancements within the field but ultimately should create a safer environment overall.
