NHTSA Safety Advisor Missy Cummings Ordered Hands Off Tesla
Posted On: January 16, 2022

A source familiar with the matter told the Wall Street Journal that NHTSA has ordered Doctor Cummings to recuse herself from any matters relating to Tesla. The private order was later confirmed by a US Department of Transportation spokesperson. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration received a new Safety Advisor last year, Doctor Mary "Missy" Cummings. Cummings was appointed into the role by the Biden administration, after having worked as an engineering and computer science professor at Duke University’s Humans and Autonomy Lab. Prior to the appointment, Cummings was a vocal critic of Tesla's approach to autonomy and Full Self-Driving. She used to voice those concerns on Twitter, frequently bashing the company and its C.E.O. Elon Musk, until deleting her account late last year.

My Take: Good news, you can't have a Tesla hater investigating Tesla matters. Neutral persons only for that role.
