Tesla Issues a Recall of More Than 2 Million Vehicles Due to Safety Concerns

Everyone's favorite "self-driving" car is experiencing technical issues…again. On Wednesday, Tesla issued a recall for over 2 million vehicles due to reported insufficiencies in the software designed to monitor a driver's attention while using the Autopilot function. It comes after a two-year investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration of over 1,000 crashes involving the self-driving function. A recent Washington Post story also detailed at least eight Tesla crashes on roads where Autopilot should not have been engaged. Thankfully, there appears to be an easy fix: a software update that the company will reportedly provide free of charge.
