Recently, however, Tesla <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2023\/12\/13\/business\/tesla-autopilot-recall.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">recalled<\/a> more than 2 million of its cars. Previously, to no avail, federal regulators had pressed Tesla to update its Autopilot system, which can accelerate, steer, and brake by itself, and to make sure the cars\u2019 drivers are paying attention in spite of the automatic driving features. This recall was Tesla\u2019s fourth in under two years, and it covers almost all of the electric vehicles the company has made in the country since 2012. If you were injured because of Tesla\u2019s electric vehicles, you should call the trustworthy Chicago-based lawyers of Moll Law Group. Billions have been recovered in lawsuits around the country with which we\u2019ve been involved.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Consult Moll Law Group About Your Electric Vehicle Claim<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Tesla has been successful in selling and marketing its electric passenger cars but has seen its market share slip as competitors have started selling electric cars. The recall, instituted after a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) investigation into Tesla\u2019s driver-assistance system, Autopilot, further damages Tesla\u2019s image. Autopilot is designed to control vehicles on their own while driving down highways, but owner manuals ask drivers to continue to keep their hands on the wheel and resume control of the car in the event something goes wrong.<\/p>\n<p>The investigation started in 2021 after fatal accidents occurred in cars that included the driver assistance technology. The agency identified 11 incidents that had occurred in which the Tesla vehicles were on the road with Autosteering engaged. Over the course of its investigation, the NHTSA said, it reviewed 956 crashes in which Autopilot was engaged, and focused on 322 crashes that included situations in which Autopilot might have been engaged inadvertently. The company has issued wireless software updates to some vehicles, and others will receive these updates later. The updates will involve more noticeable visual alerts while using autosteer, which will be suspended if drivers repeatedly fail to use it in a responsible manner.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.molllawgroup.com\/blog\/tesla-recalls-autopilot-software-in-2-million-vehicles\/#more-3173\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tesla makes almost 50% of the electric passenger cars sold in the United States.
