You mean Veoneer, the LIDAR company where she was formerly on the board of directors and formerly a shareholder [1]? Where she resigned from the board on October 25, effective November 1, and divested all of her shares prior to accepting the appointment to remove the potential financial conflict of interest?
It sure is convenient how the blog post by Omar Qazi, a well known shareholder and propagandist who literally spends all of his time marketing for Tesla, made on November 21 fails to mention that event that occurred on October 25. Almost as if he has a massive conflict of interest and will say and do anything to support the value of his Tesla stock, such as endangering children [2]. I can not think of a more unreliable source other than Elon Musk himself (Elon Musk being a more unreliable source due to his even bigger conflict of interest).
And yes, a expert with decades of experience in safety engineering having a informed opinion supported by actual research they have done [3] on products is exactly someone who should have a position like senior advisor to NHTSA [4].

- machdiamonds 3y agoFair enough, I'll concede that she did resign from the board and sold her shares. However, you've sidestepped the remaining five points in my argument. If these don't raise red flags for you about her suitability for an impartial role, then perhaps we fundamentally differ in our understanding of what's tolerable and what's not.
