CANTWELL, MARIA "I don't know whether this kind of legislation is the appropriate place for that, but I do know that nearly 40,000 people die on the roads each year. And thankfully, we have seen how innovation in vehicle technology can make human drivers safer on the roads. For instance, automatic emergency braking technology has been shown to reduce injuries from rear collisions by 60%. These technologies are saving lives today. Fully autonomous vehicles offer the potential to reduce crashes on roads, but we have seen the risk of letting companies beta test on our roads with no guardrails. In 2024, a report..."

Elon Musk warned us that he was turning Tesla into a robotics company, so it shouldn't be surprised that he's discontinued Tesla's two most popular models, the S and the X. It's not like they were flying off a lot anyway. Tesla barely sold half as many cars as they did this time last year. Instead, they'll use the factory to make humanoid robots.

"don't have a single vehicle right now that is wheelchair accessible out of the factory No, ma'am. OK, so given your broad ambitions, indeed, existential necessity when you consider how much of Tesla's valuation is tied to future promises of widespread full self-driving, I am deeply disappointed that not only does Tesla not provide a wheelchair accessible model, but the leading aftermarket conversion company BraunAbility does not even list Tesla among its common conversion platforms. So, for..."
