The- there's pr- profound examples of ways that the government has put not, not just simple regulations that say, "You may not do this," but rather structural agencies that can respond to issues like misalignment in, in this.

And probably the best example, again, is the, is the CFPB, the Consumer, uh, Protection Bureau, that's a, a consumer watchdog that looks out on behalf of consumers who don't have the collective voices to be able to protect themselves for, uh, situations that may occur, uh, or abuse that may, uh, evolve from the power that's available from AI.

Jeff ReinkeHOST
So there's a lot of struggles, I think, in really getting this implemented, especially when something scales like automotive, especially when you try to be as standardized and uniform as possible with a lot of those safety measures, whether it's the NHTSA or whomever implementing them.
Jeff ReinkeHOST
That's the biggest drawback here.
Jeff ReinkeHOST
It's a cost thing, in my opinion.
Ben MunsonHOST

Kirsten KorosecHOST
I spoke to NHTSA.
Kirsten KorosecHOST
I asked them, "Hey, what's, you know, what are you guys gonna do about this? They're putting vehicles on the road without an exemption from these standards." And, you know, I was told by some sources, "We're modern- we're monitoring the situation." Well, they then responded 12 hours after this official launch.
Kirsten KorosecHOST
They have now officially launched what they call an audit query, which is like an inquiry, and basically it's kind of what they did with Zoox.

In 2021, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said they didn't find sufficient evidence of a safety-related defect, pointing instead to potential factors like small rocks kicked up by other vehicles, uh, causing imperceptible damage that can eventually result in a breakage.
