Does a recall like this actually mean owners return their car to Tesla for modification? Or would it be an over-the-air update to remove FSD?

That was my first thought.

Also what percentage of people who paid for "FSD" needed their car recalling?

> The auto safety regulator said the Tesla software allows a vehicle to "exceed speed limits or travel through intersections in an unlawful or unpredictable manner increases the risk of a crash." Tesla will release an over-the-air (OTA) software update, free of charge.

Sounds like it's just a patch release with regulators involved.

I'm astonished consumers are still paying fifteen thousand dollars to be guinea pigs for this bullshit. No car that currently has tires on the road is going to let you fall asleep in your driveway and wake up at work.

When someone can drive from Palm Springs to SF with no intervention does that not make it bullshit anymore?

Sure, but they can't.

If you have a 99% chance of death - 1% of people are still going to make it.

You obviously don't have a 99% chance of death - but just by virtue of it being possible does not also mean it is not BS.

You can drive drunk from PS to SF also.

What's your point?

I'd love to see how one would do in the streets of Saigon. Just a couple blocks would be enough... if it gets that far.
