Tesla removed from NTSB Autopilot crash investigation, report claims

Tesla is no longer part of the probe into the fatal accident, according to a statement the company released this week. Its reason for doing so apparently involves Tesla's preference for making information public.
"Tesla withdrew from the party agreement with the NTSB because it requires that we not release information about Autopilot to the public, a requirement which we believe fundamentally affects public safety negatively," the statement reads. "We believe in transparency, so an agreement that prevents public release of information for over a year is unacceptable. Even though we won't be a formal party, we will continue to provide technical assistance to the NTSB."
