Tesla pauses new Full Self-Driving beta installations until recall is addressed

TL;DR

Tesla is putting a hold on new installations of its Full Self-Driving (FSD) beta software in the US and Canada until a firmware update can be issued to address a safety recall, according to a new company support page. Tesla indicated the following problematic behaviors that could happen:Traveling or turning through certain intersections during a stale yellow traffic lightThe perceived duration of the vehicle’s static position at certain intersections with a stop sign, particularly when the intersection is clear of any other road usersAdjusting vehicle speed while traveling through certain variable speed zones, based on detected speed limit signage and/or the vehicle’s speed offset setting that is adjusted by the driverNegotiating a lane change out of certain turn-only lanes to continue traveling straightTesla currently calls the FSD beta software an “SAE Level 2 driver support feature,” which means that it can steer, brake, and accelerate automatically with a driver present.
