Last week, the US Department of Transport I announced a major change To the base of the Biden era, which requires auto and technology companies to report incidents that include completely or partial independent vehicles. Under the revised rules, companies will not have to report some accidents, such as those that include a vehicle equipped with an AdAS advanced driver aid that led to an offer, but there are no injuries, deaths or air pillow deployment operations. The change was supposed to be, in the words of the Minister of Transport, Sean Duffy, “Slash Red Lape and Moving to Most to Most Troame National Standard who converts innovation and prioritizes safety.”
One of the companies that will benefit from changing the base is Tesla. Under the previous system, Elon Musk included the largest part of the reported incidents to the NHTSA, which includes vehicles with automatic systems of level 2. But under the revised base, the Tesla carrying a lighter will be lighter.
Tesla’s pregnancy will be much lighter
Under the previous rule, if a vehicle with a system of auxiliary 2 or higher drivers has a need to withdraw the car, but it did not involve deaths, injury or any user on the weak road such as pedestrians or cyclists, or spreading the airbag, NHTSA still is still needed. Now, under the revised rule, you do not need to report specified clouds.
Since the world’s first supporter of the 2 -level automated systems, Tesla represents the majority of AdAS incidents. According to NHTSAA total of 2,359 incidents that included the vehicles equipped with Adas since the first time were carried out in July 2021. Tesla reported 2,030 of those accidents, or about 86 percent, according to preachers of highways and car safety.
To determine the number of accidents that Tesla needs to report, the group searched the database from withdrawal accidents, with the liquidation of non -Tesla vehicles and any accident that involves injury, death, and poor user, and spreading the airbag. Of the 2030 accidents in Tesla, 240 criteria have achieved these standards, which represent 12 percent of the company’s total incidents.
The idea behind the permanent public order (SGO) was to create more transparency about spreading a new technology aimed at improving safety but was also linked to a number of deadly accidents. The organizers have argued that more data is needed to determine whether these new systems make the roads safer or make driving more convenient.
Tesla, in particular, was scrutinized. The company’s anatomy and full self -driving features are covered, which are level 2 systems that require drivers, both under the base. NHTSA Firing numerous Investigations In the nitalization technology, most of which focus on incidents reported under the SGO.
According to Tesla, Tesla despised the requirements for a non -collision, believing that NHTSA provides data in ways to mislead consumers about the safety of the auto industry, as two sources familiar with the thinking of executives in Tesla said Reuters last December. Tesla Elusk CEO was one of Trump’s most defenders during the campaign, spending at least $ 277 million of his money to support his candidacy. He is now running Ministry of Governmental efficiency In order to cut government spending, eliminate humanitarian aid, and release federal workers.
During his confirmation, hear, Al -Amin Duffy said it will allow Safety investigations in advanced leadership technology in Tesla To go ahead without obstacles. But a few months after the administration, Musk Dog launched about 30 employees at NHTSAMany of them are part of a section that evaluates the risk of self -driving cars.
