Tesla is run by Elon Musk, contributor of more than $250 million to Trump's campaign and the head of his government efficiency department.
The Trump transition team has recommended the elimination of a federal requirement for automakers to report car crashes involving advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), a move that has drawn opposition from safety advocates and some within the auto industry. This proposal, detailed in a memo from the transition team, aims to reduce regulatory burdens on car manufacturers. Critics argue that removing this reporting obligation could hinder the ability to monitor and improve vehicle safety technologies, potentially endangering lives. The recommendation comes amidst a broader push to deregulate various sectors, reflecting Trump's previous administration's approach to government oversight. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) currently mandates these reports to track the performance and safety of ADAS technologies like automatic emergency braking and lane departure warnings.
