Trump’s transportation head nominee to continue Tesla probe By Investing.com
Investing.com — The nominee for the Transportation Department’s head under President-elect Donald Trump, Sean Duffy, has confirmed he will permit the ongoing government investigation into Tesla (NASDAQ:)’s advanced driver assistance system to proceed.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) initiated an investigation into 2.4 million Tesla vehicles in October. These vehicles were equipped with Full Self-Driving (FSD) software and were linked to four reported collisions, including a fatal crash in 2023. Duffy, a former lawmaker, made his intentions clear during a U.S. Senate hearing.
Tesla’s CEO, Elon Musk, who is a close adviser to Trump, has faced criticism from the President-elect for NHTSA’s regulatory efforts. Despite this, Duffy assured that the investigation would not be influenced by external political pressure.
Senator Ed Markey sought confirmation from Duffy, asking, “Regardless of outside political pressure, can you commit to allowing (NHTSA) to follow the evidence and operate objectively?” Duffy’s response affirmed his commitment to allowing the NHTSA to conduct their investigation impartially, focusing on the evidence at hand.
