> Although the problem is with the hood latch, as with many Tesla safety recalls, the problem can be fixed with an over-the-air software patch. The new software is able to detect if the hood is open and, if so, will display a warning to the driver to alert them to stop their vehicle and secure the hood.
WTF? That I reads like Telsa deciding not to fix the hardware issue causing people’s hoods to open while driving because an alert isn’t going to stop these things from opening if the hardware is faulty.
I don’t think people emergency braking on a freeway would be appropriate, but it can be a long distance between places to safety pull off the road so even with this update faulty hardware is presumably putting people into a dangerous situation.
