"Elon Musk is eliminating jobs at the vehicle safety agency that oversees Tesla and has launched investigations into deadly crashes involving his company’s cars.
"The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has cut a 'modest' amount of positions, according to a statement from the agency.
"In addition to investigations into Tesla’s partially automated vehicles, NHTSA has mandated that Tesla and other automakers using self-driving technology report crash data on vehicles, a requirement that Tesla has criticized and that watchdogs fear could be eliminated.
"The staff reductions have come through a combination of firings, buyouts and layoffs."

They should talk to #Volvo, because Volvo seems to have figured it out. They just don't want to spend the money and do the research. Maybe they're waiting to see if Volvo will open-source the patents for AEB like they did for the 3-point seat belt harness? #us #transportation #nhtsa #AutomaticEmergencyBraking

It really is a shame that #NHTSA decided to come up with rules that make it impractical for car manufacturers to deploy #matrixHeadlights in the US. With the epidemic of blinding #headlights in this country, an intelligent matrix headlight system is exactly what we need to improve safety.
When I see clips like these of advanced systems that can highlight lanes in addition to avoiding glare, I shake my head at the sorry state of our fleet.
Feds clear the way for robotaxis without steering wheels and pedals
The NHTSA proposed a new national framework that could make it easier for companies to deploy at scale #autonomousvehicles without traditional manual driving controls.
To qualify for the program, companies need to submit data related to the safety of the “design, development, and operations” of their AVs.

NHTSA finally releases new rules for self-driving cars
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced a new “voluntary national framework for the evaluation and oversight” of autonomous vehicles, a bureaucratic first. But there’s a twist: the agency wants self-driving car companies to cough up more data.

Distribution of power has always been a pillar of well a functioning democracy. Now we see how corporate policy might be government policy. If #NHTSA is not allowed to set standards dør security for road transport, who will?
This seems like a corrupted future to me.

Tesla Tops Fatal Accident Rates In New Study
Misleading labels like “Full-Self Driving,” touchscreen-centric controls and driver complacency have raised growing concern over safety.
Tesla Model Y has a fatal accident rate of more than three times the average car over a billion miles driven. The Model S is twice more likely to result in a fatal crash than the average car.
