I think this is more a situation of regulators doing what they think is their job particularly in light of the heavy national/international media coverage.It wouldn't surprise me at all if GM and the others were pressuring the government behind the scenes to come down hard on Tesla in an effort suppress competition via government regulation.

NYT also has an editorial opinion piece they published today:

It is sad that the NYT has an opinion piece on something they seem to know nothing about.

The New York Times is a rag? That's ridiculous. They have more Pulitzers and the top reporters around the world working for them. Having said that no one gets everything right 100% of the time.Sad certainly. But predictable. There are no papers or 'mainstream' media news sources now that are not rags. And the Times is very much a rag with an obvious agenda towards Tesla's demise that can only be advertiser inspired.
Funny thing about all news sources in general - when they write an article about something you are actually expert on you realize they don't have a clue on the matter. But for some reason everyone forgets that as they read articles on other matters and decide the views expressed must have some merit because after all, this is a legitimate news source. lol
Agree 100%.I posted this info a few days ago in the thread related to the crash but it got buried by discussions about that advocacy group's letter. Glad someone started a new thread so we can discuss it.
Since the NTSB is looking at the broader picture of these systems, it should be interesting to see their findings. I know they have done studies related to aircraft autopilot and pilot distractions, so I will be interested as to their findings with regards to cars.
I do think that as many agencies that are now looking into this that the chances of no new regulations are slim to none.

Read it but as I recall that was written almost a hundred years ago when the NYT was considered the most important paper in the world. Anyway, we will just have to agree to disagree on this.Read "The Brass Check" by Upton Sinclair...

Having been in this business years ago selling advertising for large national magazines I know that you (and Sinclair) are partly right. Advertisers do try to influence editors and writers BUT most times are not successful. An independent press is one of the greatest and most important things in a free society and reporters are generally very independent true believers that are hard to corrupt. But you're right, it does happen on occasion. I doubt this is one of them. There are about two dozen major media organizations running this story, surely they all can't be corrupted.Yep. 100 years ago, Sinclair laid out an extremely strong case that the Times (both NY and LA), the Associated Press and most major newspapers were first and foremost beholden to the companies that paid for their advertising, even to the direct detriment of the subscriber base, and the truth itself. What makes you think anything has changed?

If that kind of thing ever came out it would be extremely damaging to both GM and the regulator. Lots of people would be in trouble, it may also be a crime.I really hope you are wrong - but I am sure you're right that they would if they could - and possibly are.
