A crowd week, so let’s get it. Starting with federal regulations! Woohoo. Exciting things.
I am talking about US Department of TransportThe new automatic auto framework, which includes an existing general request (SGO) on collision reports for vehicles equipped with advanced fluid aid systems and automatic driving systems. There were also some changes on Automated car exempt program (AVEP).
In short, AVEP deals with the language and local and imported vehicles that receive exemptions. I want to spend more time on SGO, which has more important changes. The Trump administration says it simplifies the process; Others, like consumer reports, do not agree.
SG ends 24 -hour reporting requirements, instead, companies are allowed five days to submit a report if there is a 2 -level vehicle that is involved in a crash. As consumer reports also notice, the new demand also changes the reporting requirements when a 2 -level automated vehicle is withdrawn after disruption.
In the past, any 2 or higher -or -higher vehicle of the advanced driver assisting system involved in a collision does not have the death or hitting a user on the weak road like a pedestrian or cyclist within five days. Now the base will only apply to vehicles that contain ads (automatic driving systems), which cut the largest part of the vehicles on the road today.
This means that if the Tesla has Autopilot (or a GM vehicle with Super Cruise or Ford with BlueCruise on) and should be withdrawn, you do not need to report it to the federalists as long as the accident did not involve death, or the individual who is transferred to the hospital for medical treatment or for other Using users.
Reporting is still required for any IDAS 2 -level vehicle (such as Tesla Autopilot) or ads found in a collision in which there is death, a airbag is transferred, a person is transferred to the hospital, or a weak road user is beaten.
During an interview at the semafor event, Point Secretary Sean Duffy It seems that it gives a reference to these rules (although he says “independently” and not “except”) when he said, “What we want to do is to be able to get good data, but if there is a bulldozer of the paint from an independent vehicle, the requirements of the reports become very arduous and difficult, and the process has slowed down.”
I think I made a mistake? communication.
Well, on the rest.

Earlier this week, we posted some details from the other inside thanks to some small birds that describe how the leaders internally described Slate EV as a “transformer” – as in the animation series “more than the meeting of the eye.” It turns out that this is exactly what the company launches for customers.

Promise readings and other tales
Independent vehicles
Operating CEO Swandar Pachay She got some attention to the notes during the company’s profit call about its self -driving car unit And emo. In response to a question, he said, as part of a longer answer, “There is a future option about personal property as well.”
Waymo mysteriously talked about its technology license (car manufacturers are supposed to be) before, so I will not read much about this. But Pichai certainly said in a profit call.
Timing She started testing her independent riding service with employees in Austin and the Gulf region before the planned Robotaxi launched this summer.
Volkswagen American and Uber Plans to launch the Robotaxi commercial service – using an independent VW electric identifier. Tanna vehicles – in multiple American cities over the next decade.
Companies expect to launch a commercial service in Los Angeles by late 2026, although they will initially include human safety drivers. The news brought me back to 2017-18-Asr Al-Partners, many of which have never been achieved. VW has a lot of work to be done before launching it commercially, including obtaining a basic test permit.

Aidan GomezCohre Coher Cohere, co -founder and CEO of Coher Coher Cohere, joined the Rivian Council. I do not want to read deeply on time, but it indicates Rivian’s interest in applying artificial intelligence to his own project while placing himself as a driver of the programs – and even the provider – in the auto industry.
Faraday future It is still present in one way or another and the Board of Directors appointed its founder Jia Yuiting as the co -partner of the company, three years after his marginalization after internal investigation into the allegations of fraud. Side note: The investigation of the Securities and Stock Exchange Committee is still ongoing.
Timing I supported the hypothesis I was cooking in my mind for a while now. The company is in contradictory facts. In one, Tesla’s profits decreased by 71 % on an annual basis, car revenues continue to decline, and their energy business is exposed to the American and China trade war. In the other, Tesla is really Amnesty International, finally, has the attention of CEO Elon Musk and is on the threshold of launching a self-governing car riding service and EV cheaper-even though it has not yet.
Investors captured the reality of Tesla-An-Annovator with both hands and they do not really want to abandon them-even if the fact is that the morale of the insight affects the brand and even constitutes formal risks in its organizational presentation. Musk’s comments have helped to customize more time to Tasla and less in Dog pushed them there.
