Tesla is recalling 50,000 cars because the AI behind its self-driving mode rolled past stop signs instead of coming to a halt, as required by law in many states.

Tesla is recalling more than 50,000 cars in the US because the AI behind itsfeature acted too aggressively, rolling past stop signs rather than coming fully to a halt as required by law in many states.

The company’s Full Self-Driving code had been continuing through stop signs at up to 5.6 miles per hour.that are currently running firmware version 2020.40.4.10, which contains the “rolling stop” feature. Tesla has agreed to disable it remotely on all affected cars, including its Model 3, Model S, Model X and Model Y.The rolling stop feature was introduced by Tesla in October, but the NHTSA says that failing to come to a complete stop “may increase the risk of collision”.

Tesla staff met the NHTSA on 10 and 19 January, before agreeing on 20 January to a recall in “early February”.Despite the name of the Full Self-Driving feature, the company requires owners to watch at all times and be ready to step in and take control if the software acts dangerously. The code remains in beta, which means it is still undergoing testing, but more than 50,000 people are currently testing it, Tesla told investors last month – most of them in the US.

It's not a recall if it's an over the air update elonmusk

Tesla did not recall any car . It just a software update done on the air. Stop spreading fake news !!!!!!!!!!

Sassy lil things!

Oh boy..wondering how this works in Indian scenario. God bless the signpost😊 MORTHIndia

recall stop signs

The headline should be: Tesla AI passes the Turing test!!

Wow that self driving AI is much more like real humans than I thought it was.

💫Experience Something Mind🤯blowing 🗣️~ Right ((( Hear ))) & Now: ~🔊 👻⚡️👁️ 👁️⚡️👽

It’s driving like a real person

pathetic reporting!

Your relevance diminishes by the day 🤦‍♂️

Last I saw, ALL states require cars to come to complete stop at stop sign.

When your AI is modelled after your bullyboy as*h*ole boss no car of yours will stop at any stupid signs too...

The cars came to an almost complete stop at the stop signs, and then proceeded to creep forward slowly, like human drivers, before going on their way safely. Software was updated over the air. Let’s not create sensational headlines by calling it a recall.

I'm more worried about them catching themselves on fire and trying to run over pedestrians at the crosswalk.

How are we gonna fix real people doing this same thing daily? Lol. They only slightly slow down for stop signs or edge out halfway into the intersection road, lol.

Not recalled! Software updated over the air. Fixed in minutes. And… it was intentional not an error, to mimic normative and safe driving practice. Misleading headline, pls correct.

elonmusk hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha even elite puppets make mistakes, all the money in the world will not protect you from reality, you are a joke, a badly told joke stolen by a wanna be comedian....

Recall? Isn’t it all done with software updates?

Required by law in many states Bugger me which ones are not law?

Why would *true* AI care for human rules? Do we even know what we mean ... by the *I* in AI?

Old news and already fixed with an over the air update

That is not a vote of confidence toward these cars.

How can it make such a silly mistake😑
