Tesla Autosteer Recall 23V-838

System Description

Tesla Autopilot/Autosteer SAE Level 2 driver assistance system

Authoritative Output Type

Automated steering, braking, and acceleration with implied driver safety monitoring

Missing Required State

Adequate driver engagement verification, attention monitoring enforcement, situational awareness confirmation

Why This Is SAF

System provided automated driving capabilities while its driver monitoring mechanisms were insufficient to prevent foreseeable driver disengagement, leading to crashes with stationary emergency vehicles and other hazards

Completeness Gate Question

Has the driver monitoring system confirmed continuous driver engagement and readiness to intervene?

Documented Consequence

Recall of 2,031,220 vehicles, OTA software update required, ongoing NHTSA investigation (RQ24-009) into remedy adequacy
