  • Donald Trump's transition team is taking aim at a Biden-era rule requiring automakers and tech companies to report crashes that involve fully or partially autonomous vehicles, according to Reuters. Scrapping the crash reporting rule would greatly benefit Tesla, which to date, has reported the most number of crashes.

The article from The Verge discusses former President Donald Trump's proposal to change how Tesla and other automakers report crashes involving advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). Trump suggested that Tesla should not have to report crashes where ADAS features like Autopilot are engaged, arguing that these systems are safer than human drivers. This proposal comes in the context of ongoing scrutiny by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) over Tesla's crash reporting practices. Critics argue that Trump's suggestion could undermine safety regulations and public transparency regarding the performance and safety of autonomous driving technologies. The article highlights the tension between fostering innovation in the automotive industry and ensuring public safety through regulatory oversight.
