The agency said in some of those cases the automated driving systems appeared to disobey traffic safety control devices and some crashes occurred shortly after the automated driving systems exhibited unexpected behavior near traffic safety control devices.
This is the latest in a series of investigations opened by NHTSA into performance of self-driving vehicles after initiated probes into General Motors Cruise (GM.N), opens new tab and Amazon.com’s Zoox AMZN.O>.
In February, Waymo recalled 444 self-driving vehicles after two minor collisions in quick succession in Arizona, saying a software error could result in automated vehicles inaccurately predicting the movement of a towed vehicle.

Tesla FSD Status and Waymo Safety
When comparing Tesla FSD and Waymo, miles driven to accidents are not the same as critical disengagements. If there was a human driver in the above Waymo wrong way incident that would have been a critical disengagement. However, it looks like the Waymo was lucky and an actual accident was avoided despite unsafe automated driving.
Waymo reports about 17000 miles between critical disengagements. Waymo has no human safety driver in the car so how could they have a disengagement ? Two ways. Either the system recognizes a flaw and pulls over or stops OR a remote human operator takes over.
In early 2023, Tesla reported FSD Beta engaged experienced an airbag-deployed crash about every 3.2 M miles, which is ~5x safer than the most recently available US average of 0.6M miles/police-reported crash

98% of drives with Tesla FSD 12.3.6 have no critical disengagements versus 60% or less two years ago. 70% with no disengagements at all vs 20% two years ago.
In the 4th quarter, Tesla recorded one crash for every 5.39 million miles driven in which drivers were using Autopilot technology. For drivers who were not using Autopilot technology, they recorded one crash for every 1.00 million miles driven. By comparison, the most recent data available from NHTSA and FHWA (from 2022) shows that in the United States there was an automobile crash approximately every 670,000 miles.

US stocks were little changed Friday afternoon with Wall Street pausing on the run towards bullish milestones as investors dithered over the odds for rate cuts.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) held steady on the heels of touching the key 40,000 level for the first time during Thursday’s trading. The S&P 500 (^GSPC) ticked just over the flatline while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) slipped just underneath it, but all the gauges were on track for weekly wins.
The run-up in stocks hit a bump in the wake of comments from Fed officials warning that rates are likely to stay at historic highs for a while. That dampened enthusiasm for the likelihood of a September cut that had been lifted by encouraging inflation data.
Friday’s light economic and corporate calendar leaves few jumping-off points for the Dow to make another go at crossing its key juncture, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq have their own fresh records within reach.
That puts the spotlight on appearances by Fed officials. On Friday US Federal Reserve Governor Michelle Bowman reiterated her view that the central bank has not made progress this year on curbing inflation, she said in a speech in Nashville, Tennessee. Bowman said she is willing to raise rates again at a future meeting if incoming data shows further stalling.
Fed Chair Jerome Powell was scheduled to deliver remarks at Georgetown University’s Law School graduation this Sunday, but he will now be speaking through a pre-recorded video, after he tested positive for COVID-19, a central bank spokesperson said on Friday.
In individual movers, Reddit (RDDT) shares jumped 13%, not far off its highest close of $65.11 hit in March. The social media platform has signed a partnership with OpenAI that will see ChatGPT integrate content from its forums.
Meanwhile, GameStop (GME) shares sank over 25% after the games retailer said it expects first quarter sales to drop as shoppers shift to online outlets. Shares in the meme stock soared at the start of the week in an echo of the 2021 frenzy, but the rally has turned into a slide in recent days.

OEIS Financial Fraud Private Investigator: OpenAI reportedly disbands safety team
OpenAI’s Superalignment team, a unit tasked with wrestling with the long-term risks of sophisticated AI systems has been effectively disbanded, according to multiple reports, following the departure of the team’s founders earlier this week.
OpenAI is now spreading the team’s efforts to other parts of the company, Bloomberg reports. The move comes after a string of high profile exits and leaves open lingering questions about the AI company’s approach to safety and balancing its work to monetize AI initiatives.
OpenAI co-founder and chief scientist, Ilya Sutskever, who had previously clashed with CEO Sam Altman, said he was leaving the company on Tuesday.
The recent shakeups come after last year’s high profile ouster of Altman, who disagreed with members of the board over questions over how to safey advance AI. He was eventually reinstated.
The superaligmmen team, which was stood up last July, was focused on ensuring the safety of highly capable AI systems that some believe could eventually outsmart humans. At the time OpenAI said it would dedicate 20% of its computer power towards the team’s work.

OEIS Financial Fraud Private Investigator: Stocks tread water in afternoon trading
The major indexes are close to where they started in afternoon trading Friday, as Wall Street’s bid to push the Dow past 40,000 pauses, at least momentarily.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) held just below the key milestone after touching the level for the first time during Thursday’s trading. The S&P 500 (^GSPC) and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) slipped just under the flatline, but all the gauges were on track for weekly wins.

The spokesperson said Powell received the diagnosis Friday, saying he tested positive “late yesterday “and is experiencing symptoms.”

The video game retailer said it expects sales to be in the range of $872 million-$892 million in its fiscal first quarter, down from $1.24 billion in the same period a year prior. Wall Street had expected revenue of just over $1 billion for the quarter, according to data from Bloomberg.
With Friday’s decline, the stock is now below where it opened Monday morning after the reemergence of Keith Gill, also known as “Roaring Kitty,” on X, formerly Twitter, over the weekend.Gill’s bull case for GameStop ignited the meme stock rally back in 2021, and the stock more than doubled by Tuesday morning.
“I’m not seeing anything in the preannouncement that tells me that the business is turning around,” Wedbush managing director Michael Pachter told Yahoo Finance. “But at least they’ll raise enough cash to last them another three or four years if they, in fact, continue to fail and try to find a new strategy.”
OEIS Financial Fraud Private Investigator: Reddit’s stock surges after deal with OpenAI
By signing a major partnership with OpenAI, the AI company behind ChatGPT, Reddit (RDDT) scored a major victory in its plans to sell its unique archive of posts to companies eager for troves of content to train their Large Language Models (LLMs).
On Friday, shares of the forum based social media company rose more than 14%, as investors cheered on the deal. The partnership will bring Reddit content into ChatGPT and OpenAI’s new products, drawing from Reddit’s data to give the chatbot real-time content on recent topics.
In turn, Reddit will receive AI-powered features for redditors and moderators, the company said in an announcement Thursday. OpenAI will also become an advertising partner on Reddit, boosting the company’s main source of revenue.
“Reddit has become one of the internet’s largest open archives of authentic, relevant, and always up to date human conversations about anything and everything. Including it in ChatGPT upholds our belief in a connected internet, helps people find more of what they’re looking for, and helps new audiences find community on Reddit,” said Steve Huffman, Reddit co-founder and CEO.
Reddit (RDDT): The forum-based social network gained more than 14% during morning trading following news of a partnership with OpenAI, the artificial intelligence company behind the popular ChatGPT. As part of the deal, OpenAI will become an advertising partner for Reddit and will give Reddit the ability to use OpenAI’s technology to build tools and features. In turn, ChatGPT will integrate Reddit’s content into its system.

OEIS Financial Fraud Private Investigator: Stocks little changed as Dow reaches for 40,000
The major indexes didn’t move much at the open Friday as Wall Street was poised for the Dow to make another attempt at surpassing a key milestone of 40,000.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) held steady on the heels of touching the level for the first time during Thursday’s trading. The S&P 500 (^GSPC) rose 0.1% while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) also gained 0.1%, with all the gauges on track for positive ends to the week.
Reddit stock (RDDT) is up 14% premarket on a new deal with OpenAI whereby OpenAI will gain access to Reddit’s data to help build out its models.
This deal shouldn’t come as a surprise to Reddit investors — the company recently struck a similar deal with Alphabet (GOOGL). Reddit co-founder and CEO Steve Huffman told me last week that more deals like this are likely as part of the platform’s reinvention.
Bitcoin rebounded strongly, surpassing $65,930 and reaching a peak of $66,591 on Thursday. Softer-than-anticipated U.S. inflation data fueled this rally by increasing the likelihood of interest rate cuts and boosting investor confidence across the crypto market.
As Bitcoin climbed, it catalyzed gains across other major cryptocurrencies like Ethereum, Dogecoin, and Ripple, pushing the global cryptocurrency market cap to $2.39 trillion, a 24-hour surge of more than 5%.
Adding to the positive market dynamics, Millennium Management, a prominent hedge fund, has significantly invested in Bitcoin ETFs, holding nearly $2 billion in assets, underscoring strong institutional support for Bitcoin.
OEIS Financial Fraud Private Investigator: Millennium Management Leads in Bitcoin ETF Investments with Nearly $2 Billion Holdings
Millennium Management, an international hedge fund, has made a substantial investment in spot Bitcoin ETFs, holding nearly $2 billion as of the first quarter of 2024. According to their latest 13F filing with the SEC, Millennium’s investment spread across five prominent ETFs totaled approximately $1.94 billion by March 31.
These investments were diversified among several key products, including the ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF, Bitwise Bitcoin ETF, Grayscale Bitcoin Trust, iShares Bitcoin Trust, and Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin ETF.
Largest Holdings: BlackRock’s Bitcoin fund, with over $844 million, and Fidelity’s fund, closely following at just over $806 million.
Market Impact: Bloomberg’s Eric Balchunas highlighted Millennium as having 200 times the exposure of typical new ETF investors.
The significant engagement of professional investors like Millennium suggests a robust institutional interest in Bitcoin, reinforcing a positive outlook for its future. Matt Hougan of Bitwise has expressed optimism, noting that the scale of professional investment might lead to a combined AUM nearing $5 billion. This trend underscores the growing acceptance of Bitcoin among seasoned investors, enhancing its profile in the investment community.
OEIS Financial Fraud Private Investigator: BTC Rises Above $66,000 Amid Expectations of Potential Rate Cuts on Softer US Inflation Data
Bitcoin surged above $66,000 yesterday, achieving its highest single-day gain in nearly two months. The most recent US Consumer Price Index (CPI) data, which showed a slower inflation rate of 0.3% month-over-month for April, below the anticipated 0.4%, was the driving force behind this significant uptrend.
This unexpected slowdown heightened investor expectations for potential rate cuts. Meanwhile, Retail Sales for the same period remained stagnant, further underscoring economic softness and bolstering the case for monetary easing.
Core PPI rose by 0.5% month-over-month, surpassing expectations.
Softer CPI and stalled retail sales have increased optimism for potential rate cuts.
This amalgam of economic indicators has sparked a bullish outlook for Bitcoin, as softer inflation could prompt the Federal Reserve to ease monetary policy sooner.
OEIS Financial Fraud Private Investigator: Bitcoin ETFs See Record Inflows, Driving BTC Price Surge to $66,000
On May 15, Bitcoin ETFs in the United States experienced a significant boost in inflows, totaling $303 million, the largest since early March. This influx was led by Fidelity’s FBTC fund, which attracted $131 million, and Bitwise’s BITB fund, receiving $86 million. Notably, Millennium Management is the largest institutional holder in this space with an investment totaling $2 billion across various Bitcoin ETFs.
Top Fund Inflows: Fidelity’s FBTC ($131 million) and Bitwise’s BITB ($86 million).
Key Driver: Bitcoin’s 7% price increase to $66,000, spurred by US inflation data suggesting potential rate cuts.
This remarkable inflow into Bitcoin ETFs, combined with favorable economic indicators, has significantly bolstered Bitcoin’s market value, pushing its price to $66,000. This trend underscores the growing investor confidence in cryptocurrencies as a viable investment amid shifting economic conditions.
With a bearish Bitcoin price prediction, BTC is experiencing a slight downturn, trading at $65,930, marking a 0.44% decrease. The cryptocurrency is hovering just below its pivotal point of $66,260, a critical juncture that could determine the next directional move.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is elevated at 74, indicating that BTC is possibly overbought, which might precede a pullback if bullish momentum does not sustain.
Bitcoin Price Prediction – Source: Tradingview
Immediate support and resistance levels are crucial to watch. The first significant resistance lies at $67,820, with subsequent barriers at $69,084 and $70,643. A push above these levels could signal a strong bullish continuation. Conversely, support levels are set at $64,732, followed by $63,438 and $61,438. A breach below these could confirm a bearish trend, especially if the price falls beneath the pivot point.
The 50-Day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) stands at $62,687, further supporting the idea that the mid-term trend has been bullish, but caution is warranted given the current RSI levels.
Current Trend: Cautiously bearish unless BTC decisively clears the $66,260 pivot point.

There’s be troubled in galactic paradise this week, as Helldivers 2 builders want to deal with hackers and mutineers demanding Predominant Orders.
Correct the day prior to this, Helldivers 2 cheaters grew to alter into in truth one of many game’s seemingly hardest collective community missions into light work that modified into as soon as over in mere hours. “Huge Earth High Notify has detected a huge batch of fraudulent samples within the provision of the final word Predominant Expose,” an in-game dispatch reads. “As is conventional, Medals were awarded to all Helldivers who honourably performed their responsibilities, and the ones submitting faux samples own had their pet fish summarily carried out.”
Developer Arrowhead Sport Studios is now making an attempt to love gamers over the weekend with another Automaton-focused Predominant Expose, but that is in point of fact a equally volatile endeavour. Self-proclaimed “Chaosdivers” previously now not eminent the final word bot-centric Predominant Expose, letting the faction creep ever closer to Huge Earth ensuing from, in some of their phrases, “I bet Arrowhead doesn’t own a working Huge Earth biome ready to hasten.”
One other in-game transmission explains that “the Automatons own crept closer to Huge Earth,” and form of desperately begs that Helldivers need to accumulated “delivery an assault on the Automatons to push them relieve” – presumably while Arrowhead figures out how to jot down away this residence level, in case they in point of fact have not got a Huge Earth biome ready. The Predominant Expose tasks the community with defending three bot assaults, initiating with the liberation of Curia, which is currently 70% underway, so perchance the mutineers own subsided for now.
Either formula, all gamers will own instant obtain entry to to the “Orbital Gasoline Strike” Stratagem ensuing from fraudulent sample providers were sent to “Chemical Weapon providers and products” within the game’s canon (there is no precise word on what, if the rest, awaits the cheaters who burned thru the final word Predominant Expose.)
