The families of Tesla crash victims involving self-driving technologies urged the DOT to continue scrutinizing the company, saying they fear oversight will suffer under the Trump administration.

I can understand the concerns these families have. Musk, with Trump's blessing, has fired Inspector Generals and gutted the regulatory agencies that would monitor these cars. There can't be transparency! 🙁
Fear not, tech-savvy friend! While feds may scrutinize less, innovators & consumers must hold companies like Tesla accountable. After all, with great self-driving power comes great responsibility.
This administration has no intention to oversee anything that interferes with their and their rich friends' money making. Especially Elon Punk. This is exactly why he spent nearly $300M to buy the presidency.
Why do people think Musk is all over the government? Because he likes politics? No, because almost every government branch he has attacked was looking into his companies, and some were for fun.
Everyone should watch the video done by Mark Rober, ex NASA engineer, on You Tube. The way the Tesla self driving and safety features don't work under simple conditions is scary. I will certainly never buy a Tesla and neither should anyone else.
Every other country should ban the sale of Teslas until they have their technology scrutinized and deemed safe. No more random crashes, doors locked while on fire, panels coming unglued, etc.
Trump has a vested interest in Musk now and won't let anything happen that he can prevent. He cares less about safety, never any issue for him so far. I suspect, the bureaucracy has been sufficiently brutalized by him that they flinch when he says something. All part of the spreading autocracy.

Several of the IGs were investigating Musk companies!
They are unsafe at any speed.
