Trump team wants to scrap car-crash reporting rule that Tesla opposes
The Trump transition team wants the incoming administration to drop a car-crash reporting requirement opposed by Elon #Muskβs #Tesla according to a document seen by Reuters, a move that could cripple the governmentβs ability to investigate and regulate the safety of vehicles with #automated-#driving systems.
Musk, the world's richest person, spent more than a quarter of a billion dollars helping #Trump get elected president in November. Removing the crash-disclosure provision would particularly benefit Tesla, which has reported most of the crashes β more than 1,500 β to federal safety regulators under the program.
