By "we want to shut you down" I meant the NHTSA isn't presenting him with so many regulations and requirements that meeting them is impossible, effectively ending the product. They are definitely using the fine to force him to comply with their request to meet the very minimum bar of answering their questions about his product. This, as mentioned, makes total sense to me in terms of what government should do to protect the safety of its citizens.
Edit: grammar
- xiphias 10y agoActually even the $21k fine should be nothing if he got $3M in venture capital. What's questionable is whether somebody can build safely an almost-self-driving car without a good team and with many years of experience in the field.
- robotresearcher 10y ago$21K per day. Four months to consume $3M entirely.
- takno 10y agoThe fine was up to $21k per day subject to a maximum of $105k
- chowwesley 10y agoActually, the maximum is $105MM.
