Tesla forced by NHTSA to add more Autosteer safety controls

The NHTSA has "recalled" basically every Tesla in the USA over safety issues with the Autosteer feature. The recall is a software update that'll "incorporate additional controls and alerts to those already existing on affected vehicles to further encourage the driver to adhere to their continuous driving responsibility whenever Autosteer is engaged, which includes keeping their hands on the steering wheel and paying attention to the roadway", "more prominent visual alerts on the screen" and "additional checks upon engaging Autosteer and while using the feature outside controlled access highways and when approaching traffic controls" that can lock you out if you "demonstrate continuous and sustained driving responsibility while the feature is engaged". How the fuck was this not the case when the feature was launched???
