Tesla recalls 53,822 cars because they won’t stop at stop signs, they have a "rolling stop" feature that flouts traffic laws.
This software allows selectable moods for the car's driving style—chill, average, and assertive. And it's the last of those that's the problem.
In assertive mode, if a Tesla approaches a four-way stop intersection at less than 5.6 mph (9 km/h) and it detects no other road users or pedestrians near the intersection, it will carry on traveling at that speed instead of coming to a complete stop at the stop sign.
Tesla first released the rolling stop function in October 2020. But in January of this year, it met with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration twice, deciding to issue the recall suspending the law-breaking feature the day after the second meeting.
