Chinese safety regulators have cracked down on doors that don’t open in a crash.
TL;DR
- Tesla is recalling 2.98 million Model 3 and Model Y vehicles in China due to issues with opening rear doors in emergencies.
- Regulators require warning labels on the interior of these vehicles to explain how to open the doors.
- A second recall impacts 2.74 million cars, necessitating a software update for the driver monitoring system.
- The driver monitoring update will utilize interior cameras to track driver gaze, enhancing safety.
- Previous reports indicated that Tesla's cabin monitoring system could be bypassed by placing a doll's head in front of the camera.
