The questions were reasonable, but the cover letter was very negative. Could you point me to comments with first hand NHTSA experience? I didn't see any.

- tptacek 10y agoThe cover letter was very "do not blow off the NHTSA". One commenter who had experience with NHTSA provided examples of orders they sent other companies with similar language.
- shadowshadow 10y agoI assume you mean this comment? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12819423 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12819423 The listed special orders were the pretext to $70m, $35m and $105m fines. Doesn't inspire confidence. It might just be reporting bias, but I couldn't find an example of a special order that wasn't associated with a massive scandal.
- jacquesm 10y agoThe idea is that you comply with the request, not ignore it. Those fines only kick in if you decide to go ahead anyway.
