Tesla has announced that it will prioritize fixing the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recall issue before shipping its Full Self-Driving (FSD) Beta to customers. The automaker has been facing criticism from customers who have been waiting for the FSD Beta release, which was delayed due to the NHTSA recall.
The NHTSA issued a recall for 135,000 Tesla vehicles in November 2021 due to a potential safety issue with the touchscreen display. The recall requires Tesla to update the software of affected vehicles, which could take several weeks.
As a result of the recall, Tesla has decided to focus its efforts on fixing the issue before releasing the FSD Beta to customers. The company has said that it is working diligently to complete the recall as quickly as possible and that it will prioritize affected customers.
The FSD Beta is an advanced driver assistance system that promises to offer a higher level of autonomy to Tesla vehicles. The system uses advanced sensors and software to enable features like automatic lane changes, autonomous parking, and more.
Despite the delay, Tesla is expected to release the FSD Beta to a wider group of customers in the coming weeks. The company has been testing the system with a small group of customers since late 2020 and has been gradually expanding the program.
