In Rare Rebuke, NTSB 'Unhappy' With Tesla Over Crash Disclosures

The rare rebuke from the U.S. agency, which investigates significant accidents involving various transportation modes, comes amid mounting scrutiny of partial and fully automated driving technologies. The NTSB is also probing the March 18 death of a pedestrian fatally struck by an Uber Technologies Inc. self-driving vehicle with a safety operator behind the wheel in Tempe, Ariz. Not long after the NTSB expressed its disapproval Sunday, Tesla Chief Executive Elon Musk joked on Twitter that the company was going bankrupt. "Despite intense efforts to raise money, including a last-ditch mass sale of Easter eggs, we are sad to report that Tesla has gone completely and totally bankrupt," he wrote. "So bankrupt, you can't believe it." Mr. Musk's tweet, which doesn't appear to be in response to the NTSB, was timed for April Fools' Day and Easter.
