Knowing some of the features of Autopilot to be easy to misuse and being creating confusion, there was about 2 million cars recalled by the safety regulatory authorities in U.S. This follows a likely one as in China that U.S. also done the same action. This was announced in Dec.2023 by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Authority(NHTSA) found that Autosteer feature is such a feature that lead to increase the risk of collision and also chances of the misuse by the drivers as the significance and scope of this feature’s was quite insufficient.
