Tesla Announces 2-Week Full Self-Driving Ban To Combat Inattentiveness via insideevs.com
Tesla has announced a new penalty for inattentive drivers in its latest over-the-air software update. A two-week ban from using the Full Self-Driving Beta will be levied against any driver who experiences five 'Forced Autopilot Disengagements," which occurs when the system automatically disengages for the remainder of a trip after giving the driver numerous audible and visual warnings to stay attentive.
The FSD Beta feature can only be removed per this suspension method and it will be unavailable for approximately two weeks.” Does a two-week ban from using a feature you paid up to $15,000 for sound harsh? Believe it or not, this punishment is more lenient than it was before. Prior to the new penalty, Tesla would remove users from the Full Self-Driving Beta without any direction on when they might be reinstated. It could be weeks or it could be many months, and it was entirely at Tesla's discretion.
