The latest software update allows drivers to keep their hands off the wheel for longer, risking collisions.
The US auto safety regulator is investigating Tesla’s Autopilot system after a series of crashes involving stationary emergency vehicles.
“The resulting relaxation of controls…could lead to greater driver inattention and failure of the driver to properly supervise Autopilot,” NHTSA said in its letter to Tesla. “NHTSA is concerned that this feature was introduced to consumer vehicles and, now that the existence of this feature is known to the public, more drivers may attempt to activate it,” the agency wrote.
Speaking broadly about the problem of driver attention, Carlson said it is “really important that driver monitoring systems take into account that humans over-trust technology.” The agency is investigating the performance of Autopilot after identifying more than a dozen crashes in which Tesla vehicles hit stationary emergency vehicles. It is also investigating whether Tesla vehicles adequately ensure drivers are paying attention when using the driver assistance system.
