Tesla's Autopilot Recall Fix Deemed Insufficient by Consumer Reports

Consumer Reports has criticized Tesla's fix for its Autopilot recall, stating that it is "insufficient" following preliminary tests. The nonprofit organization found that it is still possible to cover the cabin camera while using Autopilot, which neutralizes one of the main ways the car monitors driver attention. Additionally, no noticeable differences were observed when using Autopilot's flagship feature, Autosteer, outside of controlled-access highways. Consumer Reports plans to conduct more extensive testing in the coming weeks. Tesla's recall affects over 2 million vehicles in the US and Canada and comes amid an ongoing investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
