Tesla recalls most of its US fleet after self-driving recall
The Center for Auto Safety is the nation’s premier independent, member driven, non-profit consumer advocacy organization dedicated to improving vehicle safety, quality, and fuel economy on behalf of all drivers, passengers, and pedestrians.
Micheal Brooks of the Center for Auto Safety said the autopilot feature can be misleading.
