Source: Laguna Beach Police Department via AP Photo\nThe National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s investigation into the involvement of Tesla Inc.’s Autopilot in car accidents signals a more activist approach to regulating auto safety by the Biden administration -- particularly new technologies.\nNHTSA, which announced the Tesla probe Monday, opened 26 probes into various auto and highway safety issues so far this year -- more than in all of 2020 or 2019, according to its website. NHTSA is on pace to launch about 66% more investigations than the 25 it began last year.\nSince President Joe Biden was inaugurated in January, NTHSA also has stepped up its pace of investigations into Tesla crashes. Nine probes into Tesla accidents have been opened since March; the most recent occurred in San Diego last month.\n“Biden has picked leadership that is independent-minded and safety conscious,” said Jamie Court, president of Consumer Watchdog, a Los Angeles-based public advocacy group.\nNHTSA said it launched the Tesla probe, which covers an estimated 765,000 vehicles from the 2014 model year onward, after 11 cars using Autopilot collided with fire trucks or police cars parked at crash scenes. The accidents resulted in 17 injuries and one fatality.\nMonday’s announcement, combined with an order in June requiring car manufacturers including Tesla to report crashes involving automated driving technology, shows that NHTSA is becoming more aggressive on the issue generally.\n“Taken together, that order and this particular enforcement action could be the beginnings of a more active safety enforcement agenda for NHTSA,” said Paul Hemmersbaugh, who served as the agency’s general counsel under former President Barack Obama and now heads transportation work at the law firm DLA Piper LLP.\nIt’s also consistent with the agency’s aggressive approach to increasing vehicle fuel economy announced on Aug. 5, said Hemmersbaugh. He cautioned that he hadn’t spoken directly to current officials about their plans for Tesla or autonomous vehicle regulation generally.\nVirtually all U.S. automakers are offering a variety of advanced driver-assistance systems, technologies that can help motorists park, stay in their lane or avoid obstacles. These systems help the driver with a combination of sensors, cameras and radar, but completely autonomous vehicles still aren’t commercially available.\nGiven the developments, it’s important for federal regulators to get a handle on the emerging driver-assistance technologies, especially as carmakers push toward fully driverless vehicles, said Jake Fisher, director of auto testing at Consumer Reports.\n“In a way that we have not seen in 50 or even 100 years, the control of the vehicle is fundamentally changing and it’s very serious,” Fisher said. “The technology has advanced so quickly, it’s really left regulatorsscramblingto try to keep up. It’s terrific that the regulators are finally realizing how serious this is.”\nNHTSA didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment on whether the Tesla probe signals a more aggressive approach to auto safety regulation.\nTesla and Eric Williams, the company’s associate general counsel for regulatory issues, also didn’t respond.\nLawmakers who have pushed for more stringent auto regulation cheered the agency’s decision to open the Tesla probe.\n“NHTSA is rightly investigating Tesla’s Autopilot after a series of concerning crashes,” Senators Richard Blumenthal and Ed Markey, both Democrats, said in a statement. “This probe must be swift, thorough, and transparent to ensure driver and public safety.”\nBiden has nominated many regulators who have charted a more activist course, such as Federal Trade Commission Chairwoman Lina Khan, who has re-emphasized antitrust enforcement at the agency.\nNHTSA hasn’t had a U.S. Senate-confirmed chief since 2017. Since Biden took office in January, the agency has been led by Steven Cliff, a former deputy executive officer at the California Air Resources Board, which regulates auto emissions in the Golden State.\nThe new chairwoman of the National Transportation Safety Board, which investigates highway safety issues but has no regulatory authority, cheered the NHTSA announcement. Jennifer Homendy, who was sworn in Aug. 13, call it “a positive step forward” and said she was “encouraged by NHTSA’s leadership taking action in ensuring advanced driving assistance systems function safely.”\nHomendy challenged Tesla in a series of tweets Dec. 29 while she was an NTSB board member, over the company’s marketing of what it called “Full Self-Driving” in its cars.\n“Where’s @NHTSA?” Homendy said in one tweet.\nIn a Feb. 1 letter to NHTSA urging broader oversight of autonomous vehicles, the NTSB said the lack of rules had created a wild-west environment in which companies such as Tesla were testing unregulated technology and putting the public at risk.\nStruck a Fire Truck\nNTSB has investigated several Tesla accidents, including at least some of the crashes cited by NHTSA in its investigation Monday. A January 2018 incident in which a Tesla on Autopilot struck the rear of a fire truck on a freeway in Culver City, California, was partly due to the car’s design, NTSB said.\nBen Shneiderman, a computer science professor at the University of Maryland who studies human-computer interactions, said it’s too soon to tell if the Tesla probe is a sign of a more aggressive regulatory approach. But he said it’s long overdue.\n“We can’t just allow these companies to go do these things,” he said. The social structure and governance around artificial intelligence “has to be broader than Google claiming ‘trust us we’re really careful.’ Same thing for Tesla.”\nTesla’s marketing of its driver-assistance systems as “Autopilot” has led to drivers believing they don’t need to pay attention, said David Harkey, president of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, which conducts safety testing and represents the insurance industry.\n“We’ve been calling for this more aggressive approach to step in and provide guidance to manufacturers so they’re not leading us down a path where consumers misunderstand what these systems can do,” he said. “There has to be good driver monitoring.”","kind":"news","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":839770772,"gmtCreate":1629185932996,"gmtModify":1676529958199,"author":{"id":"3570479349727470","authorId":"3570479349727470","name":"ALIBINHASSAN","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1a7c31b79e7bff28841c5f18dca737f4","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"authorIdStr":"3570479349727470","idStr":"3570479349727470"},"htmlText":"Very messy car","listText":"Very messy car","text":"Very messy car","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/839770772","repostId":1184402879,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"}],"hasMoreComments":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":11,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false}}
