Trump transition team recommends repealing requirement that companies report automated vehicle crash data
Elon Musk's Tesla opposes the requirement, arguing it has unfairly targeted his company
Unclear if Donald Trump administration will adopt the recommendation to quash reporting requirement

The recommendation to kill the crash-reporting rule came from a transition team tasked with producing a 100-day strategy for automotive policy. The group called the measure a mandate for "excessive" data collection, the document seen by Reuters shows.
The Trump transition team, Musk and Tesla did not respond to requests for comment.
Reuters could not determine what role, if any, Musk may have played in crafting the transition-team recommendations or the likelihood that the administration would enact them. The Alliance for Automotive Innovation, a trade group representing most major automakers except Tesla, has also criticized the requirement as burdensome.
A Reuters analysis of the NHTSA crash data shows Tesla accounted for 40 out of 45 fatal crashes reported to NHTSA through Oct. 15.
Among the Tesla crashes NHTSA investigated under the provision were a 2023 fatal accident in Virginia where a driver using the car's "Autopilot" feature slammed into a tractor-trailer and a California wreck the same year where an Autopiloted Tesla hit a firetruck, killing the driver and injuring four firefighters.

Musk wants a return to the good old Ford Pinto days.

Ford Pinto - Wikipedia

en.m.wikipedia.org

In August 1977, Dowie's "Pinto Madness" article was published, leveling a series of accusations against Ford, the Pinto and the NHTSA. These included that Ford knew the Pinto was a "firetrap" and said that Ford did not implement design changes because the company's cost-benefit analysis document showed that paying out millions in damages in lawsuits was less expensive than the design changes.

So, the DoD can't account for trillions of dollars, we waste $1/2 trillion a year on privatized health car, but Elon Musks brilliant ideas all seem to focus on deregulation even if it won't save money
