Elon Musk has Commit that the work of the so -called Government's effectiveness, or DOGEwill be maximum transparency. DOGE's website It is evidence for that, Tesla And SpaceX CEO, and now the White House Advisor, has repeatedly said. There, the group maintained a list of funding and budgets cut, a number of its work.
But in recent weeks, New York Times reported That Doge not only published mistakes on the website The canceled contract is $ 8 million And paid $ 2.5 million, but also worked to hide those mistakes after reality, delete the identification of Doge's cuts from the website, and then from its code, which helps the public easily verify and monitor.
For road safety researchers who have followed Musk for many years, Modus Operandi feels familiar. Doge “gives some numbers, they have no fragrance, they have converted everything around, alleged Na -GoodallAn independent traffic researcher. Tesla shouted Tesla. You feel like they don't really care about the truth.
For nearly a decade, Goodall and others have tracked Tesla's public release on automatic driving features and adequate self -driving, advanced driving support systems designed to help drive less stress and safer. Over the past years, the researchers claimed that Tesla has published safety statistics without appropriate context; The numbers are promoted that external experts cannot verify; Favorable safety statistics that were later proven to be deviations; And even changing safety statistics have been issued. The numbers were so inconsistent that fans drove themselves all Tesla have brought the crowd Main performance data.
Instead of public data issuance, what we have are these small excerpts, when researchers look at them in the context, seemingly suspicious, he accused Bryant Walker Smith, a professor and a lawmaker researching autonomous means at Southern Carolina University.
Unfortunately the government
Tesla's first and public numbers first and public in 2018When it releases its first automatic safety data after The first death of a driver using Autopilot. Immediately, the researchers noted that while the numbers seemed to show that drivers using Autopilot were less likely to collapse than other Americans on the road, Data lack of important scenes.
At that time, Autopilot combined with control of the adaptive cruise, maintained the distance between Tesla and the car in front of it, and assisted driving, keeping the car between lane signs. But the non -control comparison with the type of vehicle (luxurious car, the only Tesla type was produced at the time, less likely to have problems compared to others), drivers (Tesla owners are more likely and therefore, less likely to occur on the road.
The confusion does not stop there. To cope with the death of a death, Tesla do Handing over some safety numbers for the National Highway Safety Management Department, the National Road Safety Management Agency. Use those numbers, NHTSA Publish a report Indicates that Autopilot has led to 40 percent of accidents. Tesla has promoted favorable statistics, even quote it whenIn 2018, another died while using Autopilot.
