Episode notes

Missy cummings has a long history of pointing out areas in safety that are problematic. The panic, the sort of need to attack her personally is a result of the fact that people don't really have a lot to say to er substantive critiques. So i think the the effort to intimidate nitza into into dropping her, because she has been outspoken about tessla, i think has already failed.

Tesla's confrontation with US auto safety regulators continues to ratchet up, as the automaker pulled a stealth OTA recall of an Autopilot issue that was under active NHTSA investigation. Meanwhile, the respected and outspoken critic of Autopilot safety (among many other topics) Missy Cummings was announced as special safety advisor to NHTSA, prompting an online harassment campaign by Tesla fans. The gang sorts through these developments, while leaving a little time for Alex to report on the annual Self Racing Cars trackday and for Ed to share an NTSB job listing.
