Safety Concerns - Tesla's Autopilot system may not have adequate safeguards against driver misuse, according to safety expert testimony [1] - The testimony was given during a trial related to a 2019 fatal collision [1]

Safety Features - Tesla cars are engineered to be the safest, featuring advanced active safety features as standard to help prevent accidents [1] - Tesla's design includes crumple zones, structural integrity, and a low center of gravity to reduce the risk of injury, cabin intrusion, or rollover in unavoidable crashes [1] Vehicle Characteristics - Tesla cars require almost no maintenance and have the lowest repair costs compared to other brands [1] - Tesla offers supervised full self-driving capabilities [1]

FDA Oversight & Regulation - FDA aims to remove industry members from advisory committees where possible to preserve the scientific process [1] - FDA needs to monitor drugs and devices immediately after approval to detect safety signals early [2] - The industry should not wait 19 years after a drug's approval to learn about potentially fatal downstream effects, such as the alleged million deaths linked to Oxycontton [2] - FDA is eliminating the ability of a small group of bureaucrats to block safety epidemiology studies [3] - The safety team should work freely without barriers to evaluate drug safety [3] Potential Conflicts of Interest - There is a potential conflict of interest if the team that approved a drug is also responsible for evaluating its safety [4]

Safety Enhancement - Robotaxi technology enhances safety for vulnerable road users like pedestrians and cyclists [1] - Tesla Robotaxi demonstrated smooth stopping ability for a pedestrian who veered onto the road, allowing them to safely return to the sidewalk [1] Autonomous Driving Capability - Tesla Robotaxi's autonomous driving system can react to unexpected pedestrian behavior [1]
