Oil prices rise after EU agrees Russian sanctions
Investing.com -- Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) has requested that all of its responses to U.S. regulators regarding the safety of its robotaxi deployment in Texas remain confidential, according to a letter released Monday.
The electric vehicle maker told the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) that its answers to questions about robotaxi safety should be classified as confidential business information and not be disclosed to the public.
On Friday, NHTSA said it was reviewing Tesla’s responses to questions about various safety concerns, including how its self-driving robotaxi would operate in poor weather conditions.
The agency stated Monday that federal law "restricts NHTSA’s ability to publicly release what the companies label as confidential." NHTSA added that after assessing these responses and other relevant information, it will "take any necessary actions to protect road safety."
The regulatory review comes as Tesla continues to develop its autonomous vehicle technology for commercial deployment in Texas.
