Tesla's FSD system is facing a growing list of investigations.
NHTSA has escalated its latest investigation to an Engineering Analysis covering an estimated 3,203,754 vehicles — the step that typically precedes a recall. There are now three concurrent NHTSA investigations into FSD, covering visibility failures, traffic violations, and crash reporting gaps.
FSD has engaged in what the agency calls "driving maneuvers that constitute traffic safety violations." The CORE PROBLEM = FSD can’t tell when it’s BLIND!
NHTSA states that in the crashes it reviewed, the system “did not detect common roadway conditions that impaired camera visibility and/or provide alerts when camera performance had deteriorated until immediately before the crash occurred.”
The conditions involved are not exotic edge cases and include sun glare, fog, and airborne dust — things any driver encounters regularly. https://electrek.co/2026/03/19/nhtsa-upgrades-tesla-fsd-visibility-investigation-3-2-million-vehicles/ #Tesla #FSD #AutonomousDriving #NHTSA #Recall #FullSelfDriving #Safety #HighwaySafety #Car_Crashes

Safety. Precision. You.
These are the core values and pillars that make up TrafFix Devices and our day to day procedures. Our commitment to making the world's highways and roads safer for everyone is a top priority, and it wouldn't be possible without our wonderful and hardworking team members day in and day out. -
One feature that makes the Delta® stand out is its standard thrie-beam profile, allowing you to connect directly to thrie-beam with no special transitions. This makes for an easier and quicker installation with less road exposure time for your workers. It's really that easy.

We put 3 almost identical traffic cones to the ultimate test - one of them was not like the rest. Made out of low density polyethylene, 80% recycled by weight, and able to withstand extreme conditions, our signature Enviro-Cone® is specifically engineered to not wilt in extreme heat or become brittle in extreme cold, thus providing you higher confidence through higher engineered products.

Cones by the container load!
Almost all roadwork jobs are going to involve traffic cones, so why not get them from a trusted and reliable source? When you order your Deltas, SLEDs and Scorpions remember to also stock up on brand new PVC cones - arriving by the container loads.

"Positive protection" is a safety measure that should be taken at every job site and the Water-Cable Barrier is the ideal choice.
With 3 molded in galvanized steel cables that strengthen the #barrier, this system works together to capture a vehicle and prevent them from entering the workzone. It ensures that you have the best job site safety possible and provides a peace of mind.

One of the differences between the Water Wall and Water-Cable Barrier, and arguably the most important, is "positive protection"
Water-Cable Barrier is meant for positive protection. It is designed with 3 molded in galvanized steel cables that strengthen the barrier to resist vehicle penetration during an impact. The Water-Cable Barrier ensures that you have the best jobsite safety and security for your projects

Did you know? We offer 3 types of channelizer drums for different climates:
- Low Density (LD) for colder climates, impact-resistant
- High Density (HD) for hotter climates, maintains shape
- Contractor Drum for moderate climates3 different types of the TrafFix Channelizer Drum — all providing a long lasting product out on the road and value to our customers.

Ever wonder why channelizer drums are used out on the roads?
1. When all lined up together, they all act as one big deterrent that helps guide and channelize traffic within work zones.
2. Being large, they act as a physical deterrent
3. They have a large surface area for sheeting, which is especially helpful at night as it gives you a more reflective object to see

We recently had the pleasure of tagging along with Maneri Traffic Control as they installed a few more Deltas. Set it on a center line, connected it directly to thrie-beam barrier, drilled 39 anchors, and put the nose piece on - it's that simple. A quick and easy installation reduces exposure to traffic, making it the unmatched solution for crash cushions.

The Trump transition team wants the incoming administration to drop a car-crash reporting requirement opposed by Elon Musk’s Tesla, according to a document seen by Reuters, a move that could cripple the government’s ability to investigate and regulate the safety of vehicles with automated-driving systems.
Musk, the world's richest person, spent more than a quarter of a billion dollars helping Trump get elected president in November. Removing the crash-disclosure provision would particularly benefit Tesla, which has reported most of the crashes – more than 1,500 – to federal safety regulators under the program. Tesla has been targeted in National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) investigations, including three stemming from the data.
The recommendation to kill the crash-reporting rule came from a transition team tasked with producing a 100-day strategy for automotive policy. The group called the measure a mandate for "excessive" data collection, the document seen by Reuters shows.

Re that amazing stat about 70% of teen car crashes avoided via later school start times: As I indicated, found in a local (southeast New England, USA) paper. Which didn't link source. I didn't cite paper article because link may be paywalled, but try it:
However, some searching around also finds this:
https://innovation.umn.edu/teen-sleep/
Of course, any one study may be flawed. But this one's, er, kind of a wake-up call, no?
-
Wow.
Check out this amazing stat on car crash prevention in the local paper (here in southeast New England, USA) re adjusting school start times so teenagers don't get up at 6:00 a.m.:
"A study…at the University of Minnesota in 2014 found that in Teton County, Wyoming, crashes involving students 16 to 18 years old…reduced by 70% when they changed their school start time from 7:35 a.m. to 8:55 a.m., the most drastic change among schools involved in the study."
