Tesla is recalling 362,758 vehicles and warns that its experimental driver-assistance software, marketed as Full Self-Driving Beta, may cause crashes.

The recall notice was posted on the website of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration on Thursday.

Tesla will deliver an over-the-air software update to cars to address the issues, the recall notice said.

1. Beat me to it. Another paragraph from the article:

The FSD Beta system may cause crashes by allowing the affected vehicles to: “Act unsafe around intersections, such as traveling straight through an intersection while in a turn-only lane, entering a stop sign-controlled intersection without coming to a complete stop, or proceeding into an intersection during a steady yellow traffic signal without due caution,” according to the notice on the website of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

And according to the article it might not respond to the posted speed limit, either.

2. Seems like NHTSA should require a ground halt of all effected Tesla cars

This is much different than other recalls, if the seat belt in my car needs a recall -- I am the only one who would be hurt, if a 'self driving' car runs someone over that is significantly different.

There was a problem with gas haulers in Michigan a few years ago, they would break and kill nearby drivers -- the Governor temporarily banned all of them.

so he can be heard and his cars can drive safely.
