NTSB sent a letter to the NHTSA asking for stricter standards on automated vehicle tech, citing Tesla's Level 2 Autopilot system tests as needing more oversight
comments are due by April 1st. https://www.regulations.gov/ ... https://twitter.com/... Lora Kolodny / @lorakolodny : NHTSA wants to hear from the public & experts on what should be the standards & rules for autonomous vehicle safety in the US. My post @CNBCtech on Fri. talked about what NTSB wants. But you can weigh in here https://regulations.gov/...... if you want fed govt to consider your ideas. https://twitter.com/... Subrahmanyam Kvj / @sub8u : Biggest disservice auto cos can do to themselves & the cause of autonomous cars is to call their current cars as self-driving. We humans simply cannot be trusted to be responsible “A federal agency warns Tesla tests unfinished driverless tech on its users” https://www.cnbc.com/... https://twitter.com/... Rakesh Agrawal / @rakeshlobster : I mentioned the other day that SEC and FTC have ducked their responsibilities on Tesla's marketing of “Full Self Driving”. The NTSB wants a change in how FSD is regulated. But, as with plane crashes, NTSB cannot force changes - only recommend them. https://www.cnbc.com/... Thomas Hansen / @tweetmyinbox : In a letter to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration last month, NTSB chief Robert Sumwalt named Tesla 16 times, and pointed to the company's willingness to put a beta product on the road as one major reason to make rules clear and stringent at a federal level. $TSLAQ https://twitter.com/... Ed Carson / @ibd_ecarson : The NTSB has repeatedly urged the NHTSA to act vs. Tesla. The NHTSA has been reluctant to act, fearing that could chill self-driving tech. That fear seems unwarranted. Several companies with L4 systems are following guidelines. https://twitter.com/... Melanie Mitchell / @melmitchell1 : Are car companies allowed to call any level of driver-assist technology “Full Self-Driving”? https://www.cnbc.com/... https://twitter.com/... Lora Kolodny / @lorakolodny : 1/ I wrote this after finding a public record buried among hundreds of comments to NHTSA in advance of proposed rule making around what laymen call “driverless” tech. https://www.cnbc.com/... Mark O. Riedl / @mark_riedl : National Transportation Safety Board (paraphrased): Holy shit, Telsa is beta-testing cars on our roads and we don't have safety regulations that govern this https://www.cnbc.com/... Mike Murphy / @mcwm : “Our opinion is that Tesla cannot achieve Level 3 or Level 4 autonomy — which means no robotaxis — any time soon with their current hardware.” https://www.cnbc.com/...
