Tesla’s autopilot does not comply with the applicable legislation and manufacturer’s cars poses may be a security risk on Swedish roads.
So significant is the allegations made by the Swedish Transportstyrelsen now directed at the u.s. elbilproducent. And the Swedish authorities are serious. You have already begun a process that may eventually make it temporarily over to buy Tesla’s electric cars to the east of the Peberholmen.
It writes the Berlingske tidende, which cites Svenska Dagbladet.
the Problem, which has received Transportstyrelsen to shout, sounding the alarm, is Tesla’s ability to update its cars wi-fi – and thus outside the control of the authorities. It is the Tesla supposedly the only manufacturer who can, and it makes the authorities unable to respond, if the manufacturer suddenly get the urge to make the cars self-propelled.
Cars are already equipped with the technology that must be used in order to get it to happen. Cameras, sensors and radar is in other words, in place, and the only one which, according to Berlingske missing, is an update of the operating system.
however, not just to slow down Tesla from selling cars in Sweden. The manufacturer’s models have been approved in the Netherlands, and because Sweden is part of EU, can Transportstyrelsen not override this approval, or the software updates as Tesla introduces in its cars.
The Swedish authorities have, according to the Telegraph tried to contact both their Dutch colleagues and the EU, but neither in the Hague or Brussels, divide, apparently, the Swedish point of view.
Therefore, Sweden can’t stop Tesla from selling cars in the country, although one would like to. It is only possible to slow down the manufacturer temporarily through a special rule called Article 29.
the Rule makes it possible to stop the sale of cars, which poses a security risk – and has now intends to make use of, says Anders Gunneriusson from Transportstyrelsen.
– We have a article 29-procedure on Tesla. This means that we examine whether Sweden should stop Tesla from selling cars in six months, if there is a serious trafiksikkerhedsrisiko, he says, according to Berlingske tidende, to Svenska Dagbladet.
in Addition to only giving access to a temporary ban limit Article 29-the rule is that it does not make it possible to stop the Tesla-models, that are already running around on the Swedish roads.
Tesla can continue to send software updates for the cars already sold. Since January 2014, according to Bilsweden been registered 4901 cars from the american manufacturer in the country.
In an email to the Svenska Dagbladet points out, Tesla’s Swedish head of communications, Maria Lantz, that updating the software always keeps himself within the framework of the law.
– Tesla stresses that all updates that are introduced in Europe, fully harmonises with all the EU’s type approval requirements, writes Maria Lantz, according to Berlingske.
