After all, an experienced human driver may have accidents due to negligence, not to mention a machine driving system with imperfect functions < p > at the end of June this year, the China market supervision administration said that Tesla recalled more than 285000 vehicles in order to solve the safety problem of Tesla's active cruise control system

and in August 19th when Tesla AI was about to be held, the automatic driving accident occurred repeatedly, which led the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to conduct extensive investigations on its automatic driving system Autopilot. p> < p > Tesla may recall vehicles in the United States < / P > < p > NHTSA said on Monday that since the beginning of 2018, there have been at least 11 accidents caused by Tesla autopilot, which have killed 1 person and injured 17 people, of which 4 accidents have occurred this year, and most of them have occurred after dark. In view of the safety problems of autopilot, an extensive investigation has been carried out on hundreds of thousands of Tesla vehicles < p > since the first fatal accident caused by Tesla's autopilot in 2016, American safety experts and regulators have been reviewing it. But in the previous years, even if the number of accidents and deaths involving automatic driving continued to rise, U.S. security agencies have always believed that the system has no defects, and Tesla's cars do not need to be recalled < p > according to the investigation results, NHTSA may force Tesla to recall vehicles and reset autopilot < p > in addition, NHTSA has the right to force vehicle manufacturers to add safety devices and functions to their vehicles, such as rear-view cameras and airbags

investigators will focus on is how Autopilot of Tesla can ensure that drivers do not fully surrender their exercise rights and always pay attention to road conditions, so that drivers can resume the exercise of vehicles when the automatic driving system appears wrong. p> < p > Tesla's user manual indicates that the driver needs to keep his hand on the steering wheel when driving automatically, but the autopilot will operate normally even if the driver does not do so < p > Raj Rajkumar, a professor at Carnegie Mellon University who studies automatic driving, said: "driver monitoring system has always been a major defect of automatic driving. This survey should start earlier, but it's better to be late than not."

Autopilot mean for Tesla?

musk has said that Tesla's goal is not just to become a car company, but also the first manufacturer to produce automatic driving systems. p> < p > musk himself has always been dismissive of the idea that the driving system needs to monitor the driver. In 2019, he said that human intervention may reduce the safety of automatic driving < p > since the "Ai day" in 2019, Tesla has made two significant changes: < / P > < p > ① Tesla announced in May that its model 3 and model y models will no longer rely on radar, but use camera vision and neural network to provide autopilot, fully automatic driving (FSD) and some active safety functions < p > ② Tesla announced in July that the price of FSD subscription service will be adjusted from one-time additional payment of US $10000 to US $200 per month, while the subscription price of cars with advanced driver assistance system is US $99 < p > gene Munster, managing partner of Loup funds, a Silicon Valley venture capital fund, once predicted: "by 2031, we believe that FSD alone can bring revenue of up to $159 billion and operating profit of $102 billion." < p > Credit Suisse analyst Dan Levy said in an email to customers: "it is important for Tesla's FSD to talk well about the company's story, but any regulatory restrictions on these functions are detrimental to the company's share price." < p > as of yesterday's US stock close, Tesla fell 4.32% to US $686.17
