NHTS is asking Tesla to dutifully report all cases when illegal function was enabled, or FSD failed, or if car systems misbehaving could contribute to a crash.

NHTS is asking Tesla to dutifully report all cases when illegal function was enabled, or FSD failed, or if car systems misbehaving could contribute to a crash. But can they trust Tesla to provide accurate data? Same with accident investigation - Tesla likely has much more data about events leading to an accident than investigators, bit would they provide all that data if it would suggest Tesla's responsibility for the accident? Looks like we have no choice but to trust Tesla, but should they be trusted in such matters?
- bryanlarsen 3y agoNot providing all data requested would turn a civil matter into a criminal matter. "False statement to a Federal Investigator", etc.

- lafar6503 3y agoMusk aside, there's a strong incentive to withhold information that would be self-incriminating for Tesla (or any other company in such situation). Similar situation with accidents - wouldn't the information mysteriously disappear if it suggested car manufacturers fault? Easy to claim that data was unrecoverable in such case, or that some parts are missing..
