Tesla has asked a judge to block requests to the National Highway Transport Safety Administration to disclose certain data related to crashes of vehicles with autonomous driving capabilities, such as Report. In the submission, the company claimed that the information was confidential and that public release of the information would allow competitors to analyze the effectiveness of each autonomous driving technology and potentially identify the number of crashes associated with various systems.
Washington Post Last year, a lawsuit was filed against NHTSA last year to gain access to more detailed information about driver-assisted systems such as autonomous driving and fully autonomous driving (FSD). The agency said the requested data was exempt from public record laws. this postal It argued that while NHTSA did release information about the crash, it “retained key details about the technology in use and the situation and location of the crash.”
Tesla argues that the company and NHTSA should be able to relate certain information to a private crash. This includes detailed information about driver behavior and road conditions, as well as specific versions of driver assistance technology that may have been used.
but, postalThe attorney claims that the information on the hardware and software versions that may have been used during the crash is not confidential because the driver can access the information through their vehicle dashboard. “Even an individual Tesla owner may know certain information about his or her vehicle, such as a version with ADAS software installed, in the event of a safety incident, the road conditions during the accident, the road conditions in the accident and what caused the accident, this information is shared with Tesla and shared with Tesla.”
according to Tesla exploits the advantages of the NHTSA vulnerability to make most of the data related to crashes involving its vehicles. The company believes that its “autonomous driving” technology does not make cars autonomous and requires drivers to actively supervise their use. In other news, Tesla hopes to hold its first Robotaxi service this month in Austin, Texas.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk is actually the head of the government's efficiency ministry. The initiative is said to have been available early this year, and it includes half of a small team that oversees the safety of self-driving cars.
