Tesla’s driverless robotaxi, the Cybercab, has become the subject of a U.S. federal safety standards review shortly after it began carrying regular passengers. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has launched an audit query to examine Tesla’s basis and procedures for claiming the Cybercab meets current federal vehicle safety standards without a regulatory exemption. The review covers self-certification for up to 1,000 vehicles and related technical materials, and could lead to changes or enforcement actions.

The U.S. Federal Communications Commission is moving to introduce a scorecard to assess telecom companies\' performance in blocking illegal spam calls. The plan would evaluate not only whether carriers followed related rules but also how many illegal robocalls they actually stopped. The FCC has begun soliciting public comment on metrics and display methods, including numeric scores, A to F grades and risk categories, while considering data sources and how to reflect reliability and carrier size.
