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.

Publishers and schools face disputes and lawsuits, while some universities limit or disable detectors and adjust assessment methods.
