Trump Transition Team Wants To End Crash Report Requirement Opposed By Tesla, Report Says

President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team wants to scrap a regulatory order requiring automakers to report crashes involving vehicles with automated driving systems, Reuters reported Friday, aligning with opposition to the rule by Elon Musk’s Tesla, which accounts for most crashes reported under the requirement so far.

The recommendations ask the incoming Trump administration to “liberalize” regulations on autonomous vehicles and enact “basic regulations” that would enable development in the industry, the document said.

Neither Tesla nor Musk have publicly denounced the order, though Tesla has opposed the rule and believes the NHTSA has presented the data in a way that misleads consumers about the automaker’s safety, two sources familiar with the company’s thinking told Reuters.
In its order, the NHTSA notes consumers should refrain from using the data to compare the safety of one automaker with another because companies collect information on crashes differently, and Tesla believes it reports better data than other automakers, one of the sources said.

I’ll believe it when someone produces the document…….not until.

It’s called the wrap up smear….by Pelosi.

I don't see anything wrong with this. Musk would surely never try to hide how often self driving cars crash.

I don't care either way.

The driver is still responsible for taking over if needed. Any accidents involving the system is still the drivers fault.

What is this post supposed to mean?

You're in favor of self-driving cars' crashing into other cars/people?

Yes. What does it mean?

It doesn't matter, as liberal whine about anything and everything.

What corruption?

Why should Tesla have to gather and report an accident? If an accident investigator wants the information, just plug into the black box.

Musk won't allow that either.

One hopes a company, not to mention the public, would want to know if their products are killing people.
 
They dont have to tell you if their products are unsafe. This is the way of the techno-bro hoes.

And turn self driving cars (with no occupants) out on the streets without knowing how often they crash. Sounds good!
 
Why is it that MAGA just sees "Government Service" as a way of feathering their own nest.
