According to a report from CNN, an eight-car pileup in the San Francisco Bay Area was caused by the "phantom braking" problem of the electric car maker.
Nine people were treated for injuries after the crash, including one juvenile who was hospitalized, according to a report obtained by CNN.
The driver of the vehicle that caused the crash said his car was in self-driving mode at the time.
The California Highway Patrol could not confirm if the "full-self- driving" software was on at the time of the crash.
Hours after Musk's announcement, a crash occurred on Thanksgiving, and the driver of the car was killed.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said it had received 758 reports from people who said their cars had stopped for unknown reasons, prompting the US government to investigate. phantom brake is a dangerous phenomenon.
In previous complaints to NHTSA, owners of the electric car company have described incidents in which their vehicles unexpectedly braked at highway speeds. The accidents tend to happen when the driver has switched on their autopilot.
The "Full Self-DrivingBeta" is one step further than the previous one. The "self-driving" software on the surface roads of the world can take over control of the vehicle from the owners if they choose to.
Some bugs remain in the new software. Earlier this week, a YouTuber posted a video of their drive to work using the full self- driving software to show how much stress it can be to use it.
The person said he's comfortable using FSD on the highway but not much else.
