Tesla pulls its new Full Self-Driving beta due to software ‘issues’
The HinduU.S. electric car maker Tesla Inc on Sunday rolled back the latest version of its Full Self-Driving beta software, less than a day after its release, after users complained of false collision warnings and other issues. The setback comes as Tesla is under regulatory scrutiny over the safety of its semi-autonomous driving technology, which it calls “FSD.” "Seeing some issues with 10.3, so rolling back to 10.2 temporarily," Chief Executive Elon Musk said in a Twitter post on Sunday. The Tesla vehicles with the latest 10.3 software repeatedly provided Forward Collision Warnings when there was no immediate danger, according to video postings of beta users. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in August opened a formal safety probe into Tesla's Autopilot system in 7,65,000 U.S. vehicles after a series of crashes involving Tesla models and emergency vehicles.
