Busy week, let’s go. Start with the federal rules! Wow. Exciting things.
I am Ministry of TransportationA new automatic vehicle framework that includes a stacking general order (SGO) for a collision report on a vehicle equipped with a specific advanced driver assistance system and an automatic driving system. There were also some changes Automatic vehicle exemption program (AVEP).
Briefly, AVEP handles the language and processes of domestic and imported vehicles. I want to spend a little more time in SGO. This has a bigger change. The Trump administration says it simplifies this process. Others like consumer reports do not agree.
The SGO terminates the 24 -hour report requirements and instead submits a report if a vehicle with a level 2 system is involved in a collision for 5 days. According to the Consumer Report, the new order also changes the report requirements for the time of the vehicle with the level 2 driving automation after the collision.
In the past, a vehicle with a high -end driver assistance system related to a conflict between hitting vulnerable road users such as pedestrians or bicycles, such as pedestrians or bicycles, was still reported within five days. This rule now only applies to a vehicle with an advertising (automatic driving system), which blocks many vehicles on the road today.
That is, if the TESLA (or a Super cruise or a GM vehicle with a Bluecruise system) with the automatic control device is collided and towed, if an accident is transferred to the hospital for fatal treatment, if the pedestrian or other road users are struck, or when the accident is supplied to the airbag, the accident is transferred to the death person. There is no need to report to the Fed.
It is still necessary to report on a vehicle with a level 2 ADA (e.g. Tesla Autopilot), and it is necessary to report on advertisements that are conflicted with deaths, airbags, or people who are transported to hospitals or vulnerable road users.
During the interview at the SEMAFOR event DOT Secretary Sean Duffy When he said, “What we want to do is that you can get good data, but when you scrape the paint from the autonomous vehicle, the report requirements are very difficult and challenging, and they seem to be nodded when the process is slow.
Do you think I’m wrong? Stretch your hands.
Okay, the rest.

slateEV startups, supported by Bezos, went bankrupt at an event in Long Beach, California. Many of the details reported by senior journalist Sean O’Kane in his early scenes were finally published to the public.

Notable reading and other tidbits
Autonomous driving
Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai We received interest in remarks from the company’s import calls for autonomous vehicles. Waymo. As part of a longer answer, he said, “There is also a future option for personal ownership.”
Waymo will not read too much because it has been vaguely talked about giving licenses to technology (perhaps a car manufacturer). But it is definitely noteworthy that Pichai said on an import phone.
Tesla Ahead of the company’s planned Robotaxi launch this summer, we started testing Austin’s employees and employees in the bay region and autonomous vehicle service.
US Volkswagen and Uber We plan to start the commercial Robo Tath service using autonomous electric VW ID. Buzz vehicle -in several US cities for the next 10 years.
The company is expected to start commercial services in Los Angeles by the late 2026, but first includes human safety drivers. This news has returned to 2017-18. This is the age of partnership, and many of them have never been realized. VW has a lot to do before it is commercially available, including obtaining the most basic test permission.

Paraday Future In any case, the board of directors still appointed the founder JIA Yueting as a co -CEO of the company three years later, in accordance with the internal investigation of fraud charges. Note: The Securities and Exchange Commission investigations are ongoing.
Tesla Imports supported the hypotheses I cooked for a while in my brain. The company exists in the contradictory reality. In one, Tesla’s interests have decreased by 71%, auto sales continue to decline and the energy business is exposed to the US-China trade war. On the other hand, Tesla is an AI company that is actually attracting CEO Elon Musk’s attention and is in the CUSP that can launch autonomous vehicle riding services and cheaper EVs.
Investors have been in the reality of Tesla-IS-Annovator with both hands, and in fact, the feelings of accompaniment are influenced by the brand and do not want to be released despite the fact that it is an official danger of regulatory submission. MUSK’s opinion, which assigns more time to Tesla and allocates more time in the Doge, helped to push them. To catch all the nuggets in the import report, scroll the Tesla import finish.
