Maybe eventually? Don’t love the breathless tone of this article (Tesla recall: Why it’s so bad, and how the government fell asleep at the wheel.), but the info is interesting
The “remedy” will be a free over-the-air software update for Tesla owners, who will be notified of its availability by April 15.
One can reasonably assume that FSD owners will receive some kind of patch by that date. But how confident can they or the public be that it actually fixes the serious problems NHTSA identified? Missy Cummings, a professor of engineering at George Mason University who recently left a position as a senior advisor at NHTSA, has her doubts.
“Even if you work 24/7 for the next 60 days, I’m not sure there are enough hours to adequately address all the issues NHTSA has raised,” she told me.
Assuming Tesla does claim to have resolved the FSD problems that NHTSA has flagged, Americans may well have to take the company’s word for it. Why is that? Because the U.S. does not require that automated car technology be tested and approved for safety before being offered to the public. That goes for initial systems as well as for over-the-air updates.
