  • Tesla recalls 362,000 vehicles over self-driving software flaws that risk crashes

    Tesla recalls 362,000 vehicles over self-driving software flaws that risk crashes

    [ad_1]

    Tesla said it would recall 362,000 US vehicles to update its Full Self-Driving (FSD) Beta software after regulators said on Thursday the driver assistance system did not adequately adhere to traffic safety laws and could cause crashes.

    The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said the Tesla software allows a vehicle to “exceed speed limits or travel through intersections in an unlawful or unpredictable manner increases the risk of a crash”.

    Tesla will release an over-the-air (OTA) software update free of charge, and the electric vehicle maker said is not aware of any injuries or deaths that may be related to the recall issue. The automaker said it had 18 warranty claims.

    Tesla shares were down 1.6% at $210.76 on Thursday afternoon.

    The recall covers 2016-2023 Model S, Model X, 2017-2023 Model 3, and 2020-2023 Model Y vehicles equipped with FSD Beta software or pending installation.

    NHTSA asked Tesla to recall the vehicles, but the company said despite the recall it did not concur in NHTSA’s analysis. The move is a rare intervention by federal regulators in a real-world testing program that the company sees as crucial to the development of cars that can drive themselves. FSD Beta is used by hundreds of thousands of Tesla customers.

    The setback for Tesla’s automated driving effort comes about two weeks before the company’s March 1 investor day, during which Chief Executive Elon Musk is expected to promote the EV maker’s artificial intelligence capability and plans to expand its vehicle lineup.

    Tesla could not immediately be reached for comment.

    NHTSA has an ongoing investigation it opened in 2021 into 830,000 Tesla vehicles with driver assistance system Autopilot over a string of crashes with parked emergency vehicles. NHTSA is reviewing whether Tesla vehicles adequately ensure drivers are paying attention. NHTSA said on Thursday despite the FSD recall its “investigation into Tesla’s Autopilot and associated vehicle systems remains open and active.”

    Tesla said in “certain rare circumstances … the feature could potentially infringe upon local traffic laws or customs while executing certain driving maneuvers”.

    Possible situations where the problem could occur include traveling or turning through certain intersections during a yellow traffic light and making a lane change out of certain turn-only lanes to continue traveling straight, NHTSA said.

    NHTSA said “the system may respond insufficiently to changes in posted speed limits or not adequately account for the driver’s adjustment of the vehicle’s speed to exceed posted speed limits.”

    Last year, Tesla recalled nearly 54,000 US vehicles with FSD Beta software that may allow some models to conduct “rolling stops” and not come to a complete stop at some intersections, posing a safety risk, NHTSA said.

    Tesla and NHTSA say FSD’s advanced driving features do not make the cars autonomous and require drivers to pay attention.

  • All Vehicles Including Buses Older Than 15 Yrs To Be Scrapped – Know Details – Kashmir News

    [ad_1]

    According to a notification from the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways All the government vehicles older than 15 years are to be scrapped. The vehicles owned by the state and central government, including buses owned by public transport corporations and public sector undertakings, are to be deregistered and scrapped starting the 1st of April.

    This, however, does not apply to special-purpose vehicles like armoured vehicles used for operational purposes of defence and maintenance of law and order in the country.

    “Disposal of such vehicles shall, after the expiry of the fifteen years from the date of initial registration of the vehicle, (should) be ensured through the Registered Vehicle Scrapping Facility set up in accordance with the Motor Vehicles (Registration and Functions of Vehicle Scrapping Facility) Rules, 2021,” it said.

    Announced in the Union Budget 2021-22, the policy provides for fitness tests after 20 years for personal vehicles, while commercial vehicles will require it after 15 years.

    Under the new policy which is effective from 1 April 2022, the Centre has said states and Union Territories will provide up to 25 per cent tax rebate on road tax for vehicles that are purchased after scrapping old vehicles.

    Last year, Union minister Nitin Gadkari had said his aim is to develop at least one automobile scrapping facility within 150 kilometres from each city centre, while asserting that the country has the potential to become a vehicle scrapping hub of the entire South Asian region.

    Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched the National Vehicle Scrappage Policy in 2021 and had said it will help phase out unfit and polluting vehicles and also promote a circular economy.

  • Srinagar sees spurt in registration of new vehicles in last 4 years

    [ad_1]

    Srinagar, Jan 24: The last four years have witnessed significant increase in registration of new vehicles in Srinagar, causing more burden on roads.

    The number of LMV vehicles registered in the last four financial years has risen to 30,204, while the number of two-wheelers registered is 43,202.

    Official data of Kashmir’s Regional Transport Office in Srinagar accessed by news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO) said Srinagar registered 30,204 Light Motor Vehicles (LMV).

    Beginning 2018-19, the vehicles registered were 8414 followed by 7333 vehicles in 2019-2020, 6820 in 2000-21 and 7637 vehicles in 2021-22.

    Quoting official data, a senior official at the RTO said that Srinagar has also registered 43,202 two-wheelers during the last four financial years. Of them, the highest number of two-wheelers 12061 were registered in 2019-19 followed by 11372 in 2019-19. The subsequent two years registered 9499 and 10270 two-wheelers.

    According to the traffic and transportation plan proposed for district Srinagar by the J&K government in one of its final comprehensive mobility plan (CMP) reports for Srinagar the registered vehicles in Srinagar have increased significantly over the years.

    The number of vehicle registration per year has considerably increased from 0.17 Lakh in 2011 to 0.24 Lakh in 2018. This high density and rapid growth of vehicles have worsened the transport situation to a significant extent.

    The share of two-wheelers is highest at about 52% followed by 40% share of cars and jeeps. This high density and rapid growth of vehicles have worsened the transport situation to a significant extent. The increase in private modes demands more road space and has resulted in dense concentration of traffic on roads.

    The official stated that with the availability and ease of financing facilities for the purchase of any vehicle, they project the increase in the number of registration of vehicles not only in Srinagar but in other parts of the valley—(KNO)
