    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    Tesla on Tuesday recalled more than two million vehicles to update a function designed to ensure drivers are focused when using its Autopilot feature, according to safety officials.

    The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said there may be “increased risk of a crash” when Autosteer is engaged and drivers do not “maintain responsibility for vehicle operation.”

    In October, a California jury found that the company’s driver-assistance software was not at fault in a crash that killed a Tesla owner and seriously injured two passengers.

    A few months earlier, Tesla recalled more than 362,000 cars equipped with its Full Self Driving driver-assistance system after government regulators found it increased the risk of accidents.

    The system, which can steer, accelerate, brake and change lanes on its own, allows vehicles to travel above legal speed limits and through intersections in “an unlawful and unpredictable manner,” safety officials said.

    And in early 2022, Tesla recalled 54,000 cars equipped with its Full Self Driving software to disable a feature that in certain conditions let the vehicles roll slowly through intersections without stopping.
