Tesla recalls nearly 54,000 cars because self-driving software runs stop signs

Tesla is recalling nearly 54,000 cars and SUVs because their "Full Self-Driving" software lets them roll through stop signs without coming to a complete halt

Documents posted Tuesday by U.S. safety regulators say that Tesla will disable the feature with an over-the-internet software update. The "rolling stop" feature allows vehicles to go through intersections with all-way stop signs at up to 5.6 miles per hour.

Tesla agreed to the recall after two meetings with officials from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, according to documents. NHTSA said in documents that failing to stop for a sign can increase the risk of a crash. Tesla said that it knows of no crashes or injuries caused by the feature.
