  • The Trump transition team wants the incoming administration to drop a car-crash reporting requirement opposed by Elon Musk's Tesla, according to a document seen by Reuters, a move that could cripple the government's ability to investigate and regulate the safety of vehicles with automated-driving systems.

The article from MSN discusses how former President Donald Trump's team is aligning with Tesla in their efforts to end the requirement for automakers to report crashes involving advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). This push comes in response to a regulation that mandates automakers to report any crash involving ADAS technology, which Tesla and now Trump's team argue is burdensome and potentially misleading, as it might exaggerate the frequency and severity of incidents involving these systems. The contention is that these reports do not necessarily reflect the safety or effectiveness of the technology but rather the volume of its use. This alignment reflects a broader debate on how autonomous vehicle technology should be regulated to balance innovation with safety.
