This seems like quite a big deal. The article doesn't state the likely cost, but that may be less important than the substantial loss of face for Tesla given all the claims that have been made for autopilot.
- rogerkirkness 3y agoAll they have to do is an OTA update though. It's like a bug fix basically.
- natch 3y agoLike a bug fix, except without the bug.
- natch 3y agoNo loss of face. Some regulators perceive a problem and have proposed (and mandated) some measures to alleviate their perceived problem. These measures will come in the form of a software update, something that is totally business as usual for Tesla, with zero car owners needing to do anything they wouldn’t already do anyway in the comfort of their own homes, much less needing to take the car in for service somewhere… they don’t need to do that either. Basically zero impact on owners. Tiny tweak for Tesla. Not a big deal. The measures in the update simply add more reminders for humans to do the things they are already aware they are responsible for doing such as watching the road. On top of the reminders that are already given when an inattentive driver is detected.
