The Office of Defects Investigation (“ODI”) has identified numerous incident reports submitted by Tesla, Inc. (“Tesla”) in response to Standing General Order 2021-01 (the “SGO”), in which the reported crashes occurred several months or more before the dates of the reports. The majority of these reports involved crashes in which the Standing General Order in place at the time required a report to be submitted within one or five days of Tesla receiving notice of the crash. When the reports were submitted, Tesla submitted them in one of two ways. Many of the reports were submitted as part of a single batch, while others were submitted on a rolling basis.
Preliminary engagement between ODI and Tesla on the issue indicates that the timing of the reports was due to an issue with Tesla’s data collection, which, according to Tesla, has now been fixed. NHTSA is opening this Audit Query, a standard process for reviewing compliance with legal requirements, to evaluate the cause of the potential delays in reporting, the scope of any such delays, and the mitigations that Tesla has developed to address them. As part of this review, NHTSA will assess whether any reports of prior incidents remain outstanding and whether the reports that were submitted include all of the required and available data.
Here’s why: money
Anybody know the legalese for “because they’re lying buckets of shit”?
Tesla knows immediately when one of its vehicles crashes because the vehicle sends Tesla HQ a detailed crash report that it then deletes from the car’s local storage. Wish I was making this up.
Launched an investigation? The answer is simple: Elon is a disgusting little bitch with too much money for his own good and buys his way out of facing the consequences of his actions. And he also worked in the country illegally and should be sent to CECOT.
There. Didn’t require a whole investigation, you guys. Holy shit, the government really is wasting resources these days.
Sometimes investigation means finding out about all of the crimes committed. Not just the ones you definitely know about.
Although in this case it probably is just political assassination because trump’s decided he’s falling out with musk.
I still can’t imagine how are they gonna accomplish safe self-driving tech without LIDAR. That’s just playing with peoples lives.
I still can’t believe people buy those shit cans.
Even worse, he got his wealth on the back of liberals and people that care about the environment… Cletus wasn’t buying these cars, he was rolling coal in his lifted F150.
Musk keeps saying humans don’t have LIDAR so his cars don’t need it either. That’s the level of leadership at Tesla.
how
Not at all. The whole world knows that by now.
I think cars should communicate with each other as well with an open source, universal standard. Like real time data exchange that helps the self driving
I think there would be one very congested frequency band.
That’ll probably be the way it goes. That does of course mean banning other cars from the road and I’m not sure how that’s going to be implemented.
I don’t like the idea of a single system. Over specialize and you breed in weakness.
Single standard, but multiple implementations.
The alternative is fragmentation.
This is Analysis-Paralysis. Why should they spend all their time counting past crashes when they are busy increasing the production of new ones?
/s
Lol. DOGE missed a federal system? Good. Fuck doge.
Some “Feds” who haven’t lost their jobs when it was time…? /s
Because they don’t want to and they’ve learned that nothing bad will happen to them if they don’t.
I mean I can save them some time. I already knew why.
Hmm, I wonder why they’d do that… I guess we’ll never know.
Elon didn’t bring Trump a gold statue and kiss his ass publicly so now every regulatory body will suddenly discover that Tesla is breaking the rules.
$10 says it can be linked to DOGE
