Tesla has updated its Autopilot to make it safer - but has managed to annoy both drivers AND regulators.

Tesla is recalling nearly all of the vehicles it sold in the U.S, more than 2 million across its model lineup, to fix a defective system thats supposed to ensure drivers are paying attention when they use Autopilot.

Tesla Inc has disclosed two new fatal crashes involving automated driver assist systems to US regulators bringing its total to 16 in a government mandated data collection system set up last year.

The crash occurred in Oregon just before noon Saturday - with Fredrick Scheffler, 49, (at left) dying at the scene, and Kyle Rieger, 26, (at right) succumbing to his injuries at a local hospital.
