Tesla recalls over 2 mn vehicles for fixing autopilot monitoring system

Tesla is recalling more than 2 million vehicles across its model lineup to fix a defective system that's supposed to ensure drivers are paying attention when they use Autopilot. Documents posted Wednesday by US safety regulators say the company will send out a software update to fix the problems. The recall comes after a two-year investigation by US auto safety regulators into a series of crashes that happened while the Autopilot partially automated driving system was in use. Some were deadly. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says its investigation found Autopilot's method of ensuring that drivers are paying attention can be inadequate and can lead to foreseeable misuse of the system. The recall covers nearly all of the vehicles Tesla sold in the US since it activated Autopilot late in 2015. The software update includes additional controls and alerts to further encourage the driver to adhere to their continuous driving responsibility, the documents said. The sof

If the government has to consider providing incentives then it will only be for all EV makers and entrants who want to come to India, the official said. The official added that inter-ministerial discussions have happened on the customs duty concession demand of the US-based electric car maker Tesla, but "we never" come to any conclusion on those. In 2021, the US-based electric car maker demanded a reduction in import duties on electric vehicles (EVs) in India. It had requested the government to standardize the tariff on electric cars to 40 per cent irrespective of the customs value. At present, cars imported as completely built units (CBUs) attract customs duty ranging from 60 per cent to 100 per cent, depending on engine size and cost, ..
