Earlier this month, the U.S. government forced Tesla to recall 54,000 cars via an over-the-air software modification after regulators caught wind of an “assertive” update within the already dangerous Full Self-Driving Beta. Among other lovely features, this update allowed vehicle AI to perform a “rolling stop” at stop signs... which is an illegal traffic maneuver, in case you weren’t aware.
This week, Elon Musk’s EV company was slapped with yet another software recall request that, although potentially not technically illegal, was still both obnoxious and unsafe for fellow drivers and pedestrians: Tesla owners can’t make their cars fart at people anymore.
