Trump Will Likely Kill a Federal Reporting Rule That Revealed the Staggering Number of Tesla Crashes

In a potential blow to transparency and safety, the Trump administration is poised to strike down a federal regulation mandating automakers to report data on Tesla vehicles’ autonomous driving systems.

This decision has raised concerns among safety advocates, who argue that the data provides valuable insights into the performance and risks associated with self-driving technology. The rule, implemented by the Obama administration, was credited with bringing to light the alarming number of crashes involving Tesla’s Autopilot system. Without it, experts fear that potential hazards may remain hidden, jeopardizing the safety of consumers on the road.
