Tesla should never have been allowed to roll out Full Self-Driving without regulators’ approval in the first place.
that FSD is dangerous, and the recall’s language suggests they were right. According to NHTSA, FSD “may allow the vehicle to act unsafe around intersections, such as driving straight through an intersection while in a turn-only lane.” That sounds bad, as do other FSD behaviors cited by the federal car-safety agency, including speeding, rolling through stop signs, and running yellow traffic lights “without due caution.
One can reasonably assume that FSD owners will receive some kind of patch by that date. But how confident can they or the public be that it actually fixes the serious problems NHTSA identified? Missy Cummings, a professor of engineering at George Mason University who recently left a position as a senior advisor at NHTSA, has her doubts.“Even if you work 24/7 for the next 60 days, I’m not sure there are enough hours to adequately address all the issues NHTSA has raised,” she told me.
Assuming Tesla does claim to have resolved the FSD problems that NHTSA has flagged, Americans may well have to take the company’s word for it. Why is that? Because the U.S.that automated car technology be tested and approved for safety before being offered to the public. That goes for initial systems as well as for over-the-air updates.
Tesla’s big recall should serve as a wake-up call. A recklessly designed “autonomous” system shouldn’t be installed on hundreds of thousands of vehicles before the feds intervene. We can prevent that from happening by requiring that these technologies receive pre-approval before they are sold to the public.Notably, there is no similar FSD recall in the European Union, because Tesla hasn’t received the green light to offer it there.
last year in Berlin, Tesla CEO Elon Musk himself summarized the difference in transatlantic car regulations: “In the U.S. things are legal by default, and in Europe they’re illegal by default.”In fact, the U.S. does use pre-approval to improve transportation safety—just not for cars. But if a plane manufacturer is designing a new piece of software or hardware, the company must work closely with the Federal Aviation Administration to get the go-ahead prior to deployment.
