  The move could cripple the U.S. government's ability to investigate and regulate the safety of vehicles with automated-driving systems

The article from The Globe and Mail discusses a recommendation by Donald Trump's transition team to eliminate the requirement for automakers to report car crashes involving their vehicles. This proposal, part of a broader initiative to reduce regulatory burdens on businesses, was outlined in a memo from Trump's Department of Transportation transition team. The memo suggested that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) should no longer mandate automakers to submit early warning reports on crashes, injuries, and deaths linked to their vehicles. Critics argue that this change could hinder the ability to identify safety defects early, potentially compromising public safety. The transition team's rationale was to decrease the regulatory load on manufacturers, arguing that such reporting requirements were overly burdensome and that the data collected was often incomplete or inaccurate. However, this move has raised concerns among safety advocates about the potential increase in road fatalities and the erosion of consumer protections.
