Payment Fed’s Powell: There’s no returning Lumber now in greater provider supply to pre-pandemic economy enters wedding promotion F By YOURI KEMP Tribune Business Reporter ykemp@tribunemedia.net

A DIGITAL payments provider is expanding its brand into the wedding business by partnering to provide a payment solution for micro-wedding promotion. Jevon Butler, Kanoo’s chief sales officer, speaking at a press conference, said: “The Bahamas Bridal Association has done a wonderful thing with this wedding of your dreams. “During this pandemic, a lot of individuals have lost faith and hope and have lost love and we are excited to partner with the association as they are re-engaging and re-invigorating Bahamians to come together with that loved one and decide to take that leap of faith.” The BBA has launched its “eight wedding giveaways” where they will be giving four local couples and four international couples a chance to win a microwedding if they enter into a contest on BBA’s website. The value of a micro-wedding can go up to $5,000. The only stipulation is the couples must be planning to have a wedding in 2022. Where Kanoo comes in is that the payment provider will be facilitating the entrance fee to the BBA’s contest by offering a payment gateway where the BBA will be able to accept payments from local and international couples looking to enter. Mr Butler said: “What we’re finding with Kanoo is that a lot of individuals initially would have used the PayPal mechanism and we know PayPal is an American based entity that requires that you need to have a social security number or have an American address or have a bank account. “So those individuals who are collecting funds in $US, they’re having a difficult time repatriating them back to The Bahamas and even if they are able to, they’re losing on the foreign exchange. I’ve heard of clients that have lost up to 18 percent of the value of the funds being sent back. “So here at Kanoo, we’re saying to use a local payment gateway for API integration and you’re able just to process tour payment, your clients can either do it as a new account holder, or they can do it as a guest checkout. All of this allows for e-commerce platforms and associations like the BBA to collect funds in a timely fashion and have it sent to their bank account. The only thing is that people need to have a commercial bank account in order to convert their digital currency back to fiat currency, Mr Butler advised and the plan is that the Bahamian digital currency, the Sand Dollar, will takeoff and Kanoo will be well positioned to capitlise on this transition. “For now, you can just keep those funds in your mobile wallet and transact wherever you see fit,” he added.

EDERAL Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said yesterday that the US economy has been permanently changed by the COVID pandemic and it is important that the central bank adapt to those changes. “We’re not simply going back to the economy that we had before the pandemic,” Powell said at a Fed virtual town hall for educators and students. “We need to watch carefully as the economy continues to get through the pandemic and try to understand the ways that the economy has changed and what the implications are for our policy.” Powell said that, while it is not yet clear if the delta variant of COVID will have further impact on the economy, the country has already seen significant changes since the pandemic began shutting the country down in March 2020.

NIB considers extension as pandemic benefits reach $100m By YOURI KEMP Tribune Business Reporter ykemp@tribunemedia.net THE National Insurance Board (NIB) has paid out over $100m in pandemic unemployment benefits thus far and a decision on whether payments will continue will happen by the end of September. Brensil Rolle, minister with responsibility for the public service and NIB, speaking ahead of the weekly cabinet meeting yesterday, said: “Thousands of ordinary Bahamians have benefitted from the programme, particularly those individuals who worked in the touristic field and was totally shut down. “Many of these individuals have not, in the past, contributed to NIB, but they have benefitted through the programme because of the government’s commitment to making sure that those persons had bread on their table and something to eat.”

BRENSIL ROLLE The government is funding this extended unemployment benefits scheme by rearranging existing government projects and adjusting departmental budgets. Discussions on the solvency of NIB have always been a muted matter, with

policy makers tending to shy away from answering questions on the matter and not going into specifics of what NIB pays out in contracts and to who and what other financial investments the fund has made and whether these investments are returning to the

Cable in revenue increase pass expectations By YOURI KEMP Tribune Business Reporter ykemp@tribunemedia.net CABLE Bahamas Ltd (CBL) “surpassed expectations” for the 2021 fiscal year with revenue increasing by four percent in the final quarter. In a release to the media, CBL said their Q4 “surpassed expectations for the 2021 fiscal year, recording strong end of year earnings despite the extraordinary challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic”. The release also said: “Based on the company’s Q4 Report and Consolidated Interim Financial Statements, recently released, year to date (YTD) revenue for the communications conglomerate grew four percent ($7m).” It said this increase in revenue was driven by the consistent performance of the Aliv mobile services brand and REV’s fixed line services, particularly Internet and Voice. “The company also materialised significant reductions in its operating expenses with stricter management of costs and a reduction in interest

So many of the projects that the government may have planned had to be put on the shelf until this pandemic is over,” said Mr Rolle. Mr Rolle also said the number of people still on the unemployment benefits scheme is half of where it started in 2020. “We know that over 16,000 individuals are now receiving a benefit from the government on a weekly basis… We are roughly at half of the individuals who initially were getting assistance from government.,” he said. “The numbers fluctuate sometime between 34,000 and 42,000. We are doing $16m every two weeks.”

Island Luck teams up on sports betting technology

KAMBI Group Plc, a provider in sports betting technology, has teamed up with local gaming house, Island Luck, to provide the latter with premium sports betting technology. In a statement to Tribune Business, Kambi said: “We are very pleased to have put pen to paper on this longterm partnership with Island Luck. Kambi’s strategy is to partner with market leaders, and operators that have the potential to achieve a position of market leadership, with the Kambi sportsbook as a crucial component. It is an agreement that continues the expansion of our reach in the Americas with an ambitious partner, and we are excited to be working closely with Island Luck to bring their players exciting sports betting experiences.” Kambi is a trusted partner to more than 30 operators on six continents and is a leading provider in sports betting experiences.

A BUILDING materials supplier said lumber prices have “flattened out considerably” riding the wave of greater supply and availability. Christopher Lleida, chief executive officer of Premier Importers, told Tribune Business yesterday prices have started to come down in the last three months by 20 percent. Mr Lleida said: “Lumber prices have actually come down considerably. I think is just probably increased supply because I’m going to say three plus months ago supply were a bit iffy, and it kind of varies because plywood prices have dropped. I mean, they flattened out considerably. “I know from the orders we have coming in, but they aren’t in stock yet, but prices will be coming down considerably,” said Mr Lleida. He cautioned, however: “While we are the bully marker and we go up and down with the tide and whichever way the wind blows, we have zero control over these things. “So, there’s still an issue with freight coming out of South America and Asia and I don’t know when that will ever straighten out, because I heard China’s second largest port had one case of COVID-19 and they shut the whole port down and this port handles thousands of containers a day.” Shipping out of East Asia has been a significant problem for Bahamian businesses with partners in China due to logistics challenges. Earlier in the year, Chinese ships could not find containers due to a shortage. In addition, the price for containers have doubled in many instances, when what companies would have paid an average of $7,000 they are now paying upwards of $12,000 per container. Mr Lleida said: “You have one glitch here and another glitch there. Shipping companies are also faced with equipment shortages and other things

US agencies scrub websites to protect Afghans left behind WASHINGTON Associated Press MULTIPLE federal agencies that operated in Afghanistan and worked with Afghan citizens have been hastily purging their websites, removing articles and photos that could endanger the Afghan civilians who interacted with them and now fear retribution from the Taliban. The online scrubbing campaign appeared to begin late last week when it became clear that the Afghan security forces had completely collapsed and the Taliban would take over the country far faster than even the most alarmist official predictions. The concern is that the Taliban or its supporters would search the websites and identify Afghans who had worked with the Americans or merely benefited from their services. State Department Spokesman Ned Price said the department was advising personnel to search for and remove social media and website content featuring civilians because the safety of Afghan contacts “is of utmost importance” to the government. “State Department policy is to only remove content in exceptional situations like this one. In doing so, department personnel are following records retention requirements,” Price said. The US Agency for International Development said in a statement the agencies who operated in Afghanistan began clearing the websites last on Friday — one day after the decision was made to send US military to secure the Kabul airport as the capital collapsed.

A COMPUTER screen displays a United States Department of Agriculture website page with the words “Access Denied” on it yesterday in Washington. Multiple federal agencies that operated in Afghanistan and worked with Afghan citizens have been hastily purging their websites, removing articles and photos that could endanger the Afghan civilians who interacted with them. An Associated Press review of the USDA website revealed at least seven different links to Afghanistan-related press releases or blog posts that, when clicked on, defaulted to a page declaring “Access denied: You are not authorized to access this page.” Photo: Jenny Kane/AP “Given the security situation in Afghanistan, and out of an abundance of caution for the safety of our staff, partners, and beneficiaries, we are reviewing USAID public websites and social media to archive content that could pose a risk to certain individuals and groups,” the agency said in an email to The Associated Press. An official with the Agriculture Department said a similar scrubbing effort was underway there. That official spoke on condition of anonymity because they are not cleared to speak

on the issue. An Associated Press review of the USDA website revealed at least seven different links to Afghanistan-related press releases or blog posts that, when clicked on, defaulted to a page declaring “Access denied: You are not authorized to access this page.” While much attention has focused on protecting Afghan interpreters and others who worked with the US military, soldiers were only a portion of the US personnel who operated in Afghanistan over the last two decades.

Organisations, including USAID, elements of the Agriculture Department and others, began arriving in Afghanistan as early as 2002, within months of the toppling of the previous Taliban government, focused on developing the country’s infrastructure, educational and agriculture sectors. As recently as June, USAID announced the US was providing more than $266m in additional humanitarian assistance to help Afghans. Total humanitarian assistance for Afghanistan totaled

more than $543m since fiscal year 2020, according to the USAID press announcement. The money brought the total US humanitarian assistance to nearly $3.9bn since 2002, the release said. In some of the nowdisabled Agriculture Department posts viewed by The Associated Press, several, but not all, contained details that would clearly be viewed by the Taliban as proof of collaboration, such as names and photos of Afghan agricultural specialists and governmental officials who

visited the US on multiple USDA-sponsored delegations or fellowships. Others were more innocuous, such as an article about Minnesota farmers donating more than 2,500 bushels of soybean seeds to their Afghan counterparts. The fact that they have also been scrubbed from the site possibly indicates the level of caution being used —or simply that whole sections of Afghan-related material were hastily deleted in large batches. One scrubbed article makes it clear that even while the American military was deployed across the country, Afghan civilians and government officials were in danger of retaliation for the most lowlevel associations with the US government. It recounts in detail the USDA’s working relationship with the members of an regional agricultural authority in a province near Kabul. USDA helped coordinate a shura (townhall meeting) between the council members and local farmers. The article, which includes a photo of the meeting, notes more than 250 farmers showed up despite insurgent threats of “violence against any farmer or government official planning to attend the meeting or work with USDA”. The author praises the government officials “who risk their safety each day to bring progress and opportunity to their fellow Afghans”.

JUDGE MULLS KEY RULINGS IN BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA BANKRUPTCY

BOY Scouts of America’s uniform. DOVER Associated Press A YEAR and a half after the Boy Scouts of America sought bankruptcy protection amid an onslaught of child sex abuse lawsuits, a Delaware judge is poised to issue a ruling that could determine whether the organisation might emerge from bankruptcy later this year. Following a three-day hearing that ended on Monday, the judge is mulling whether the Boy Scouts can pursue an $850m agreement with attorneys representing a majority of the 82,500 abuse claimants in the case. Failure to win approval of the agreement could throw the case into chaos. The agreement involves the national Boy Scouts organisation, the roughly 250 local Boy Scout councils, the official victims committee, and law firms representing some 70,000 men who say they were molested as youngsters by Scoutmasters and others. The Texas-based Boy Scouts have proposed contributing up to $250m in cash and property to a fund for abuse victims. Local councils, which run dayto-day operations for Boy Scout troops, would contribute $600m. The national organisation and councils also would transfer their rights to Boy Scout insurance policies to the victims fund. In return, they would be released from further liability for abuse claims. The agreement is opposed by insurers that issued policies to the Boy Scouts and local councils, other law firms representing thousands of abuse victims, and various church denominations that have sponsored Boy Scouts troops. Here is a look at some of the key issues that Judge Laura Selber Silverstein must address: BUSINESS JUDGMENT The overarching issue is whether the Boy Scouts of America exercised proper business judgment in entering into the agreement. Under Delaware’s business judgment rule, courts presume that directors are acting in the best interests

of the corporation unless there is evidence that they shirked their duties, had conflicts or acted in bad faith. “This board worked very hard, informed itself and used due care in rendering its business decision,” Jessica Lauria, lead bankruptcy attorney for the Boy Scouts, said on Monday. Insurers and other opponents of the proposed agreement argued that the BSA board never adopted a resolution approving the agreement and delegated decision-making authority to subcommittees. They also said the Boy Scouts CEO and board chairman acknowledged not reviewing key elements of the agreement before approving it. Opponents also contend that Boy Scout officials did not consider the agreement’s impact on the sponsoring organisations, which remain vulnerable under the agreement to lawsuits by abuse claimants. HARTFORD SETTLEMENT In the proposed agreement, the Boy Scouts are seeking permission to back out of a settlement they reached in April with one of their insurers, The Hartford. The Hartford agreed to pay $650m into the victims fund in exchange for being released from any further obligations. The Boy Scouts have described the settlement as reasonable but now want to back out because of opposition by attorneys for abuse claimants, who say their clients would never support a plan that includes it. Lauria argued that all of the conditions needed for the Hartford settlement to take effect have not been met, and the Boy Scouts should therefore be allowed to withdraw. Attorneys for the Hartford say the settlement, which was signed in April, is binding and requires the Boy Scouts to cooperate in good faith and seek its approval. Allowing the Boy Scouts to walk away would set a dangerous precedent and would disincentivise settlement negotiations in future cases, they said. “Why shouldn’t parties be bound in some fashion by agreements they

enter?” Silverstein asked on Monday, adding that the issue presented was “challenging”. PROFESSIONAL FEES Supporters of the agreement include 27 law firms affiliated with an ad hoc group called the Coalition of Abused Scouts for Justice, which has dominated the flow of the case despite the presence of an official victims committee. Those firms represent about 63,000 abuse claimants. Under the agreement, the Boy Scouts would reimburse up to $10.5m in fees and expenses incurred since July 2020 by law firms representing the coalition, and $950,000 a month going forward until a reorganisation plan takes effect. Critics of the fee arrangement say it raises both ethical and legal issues, and that the proposed payments to the law firms are the real impetus behind the agreement. David Buchbinder, an attorney representing the US bankruptcy trustee, argued the law firms representing the coalition haven’t proven they have made the required “substantial contribution” to the bankruptcy case that would merit fee reimbursement, or even provided documentation to support the proposed fees. “The amazing testimony was that the debtor (the Boy Scouts) didn’t even look at the underlying fees. They weren’t produced,” Buchbinder said. TIMELINE If Silverstein approves the agreement, the next step will be a hearing starting Aug 25 to decide whether to approve a disclosure statement that explains the reorganisation plan to creditors. Approval of the disclosure statement is required before ballots can be sent to abuse claimants to vote on a plan.

Powell: There’s no returning Wall Street slips Fed’s to pre-pandemic economy as retail sales post steep drop in July FROM PAGE ONE

Associated Press STOCKS closed lower on Wall Street yesterday, ending a five-day winning streak by the S&P 500, as investors turned cautious amid more signs that the coronavirus pandemic is still holding back the US economy. The benchmark index fell 0.7%, its biggest decline in four weeks. Technology stocks and a mix of companies that rely on consumer spending were the biggest weights on the market as traders become more concerned about the pace and breadth of economic growth amid a resurgent COVID19. Those sectors tend to perform weakly in uncertain economic conditions. The health care sector was alone in notching broad gains within the S&P 500. A mix of companies that sell food and personal goods, along with utilities and real estate companies held up better than most of the market as investors shifted money to less risky investments. Treasury yields edged higher. The selling kicked off after a government report showed US retail sales fell sharply last month. The report followed an unexpectedly bad consumer sentiment survey on Friday that was almost entirely due to the spread of the delta variant of the coronavirus, which has caused hospitals to fill up with unvaccinated patients across the US. Those downbeat reports and the rise of the delta variant gave investors an opening to take some profits after a five-day run of all-time highs by the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones

Industrial Average, said Ross Mayfield, investment strategist at Baird. “We were at all-time highs, haven’t had a 5% pullback in close to a year,” Mayfield said. “And then the general delta resurgence has folks pretty much a little down on the recovery, so there was bound to be some weakness at some point.” The S&P 500 fell 31.63 points to 4,448.08. The Dow lost 282.12 points, or 0.8%, to 35,343.28. The blue-chip index was briefly down 505 points. The tech-heavy Nasdaq composite dropped 137.58 points, or 0.9%, to 14,656.18. Nearly three times as many stocks fell on the NYSE than rose. Small company stocks bore some of the heaviest selling. The Russell 2000 index slid 26.24 points, or 1.2%, to 2,177.17. Bonds were little changed. The yield on the ten-year Treasury note held steady at 1.26%. Americans cut back on their spending last month as a surge in COVID-19 cases kept people away from stores. Retail sales fell a seasonal adjusted 1.1% in July from the month before, the US Commerce Department said yesterday. It was a much larger drop than the 0.3% decline Wall Street analysts had expected. According to yesterday’s report, spending fell at stores selling clothing, furniture and sporting goods. At restaurants and bars, spending rose nearly 2%, but the rate of growth has slowed from recent months as the delta variant spread and people worried about dining with others. The weak sales report dragged down companies that rely on discretionary

spending from consumers. Ralph Lauren fell 2.7% and Whirlpool dropped 3.9%. Travel-related companies, including airlines, cruise line and hotel operators, fell broadly. American Airlines lost 2.1%, Royal Caribbean Group slid 3.1% and Marriott International closed 2.1% lower. “It doesn’t surprise me that we’re seeing a bit of an across the board sell-off, we’re a bit overdue,” said Mike Stritch, chief investment officer of BMO Wealth Management. Major indexes had been trading at record highs on a mix of confidence from investors and friendly monetary policy from the Federal Reserve. Analysts still expect economic growth to continue through the year, but sentiment on Wall Street is becoming a bit more cautious on the pace. Markets also digested news that Chinese factory output, consumer spending and investment grew more slowly in July than expected. The government blamed flooding in central China and controls on travel and business to fight outbreaks of the coronavirus’s delta variant. Shares of Home Depot fell 4.3% after the company told investors that sales were slowing compared to last year, when millions of locked-down Americans undertook home improvement projects. Homebuilders fell broadly following a disappointing report from the National Association of Home Builders. The organisation said that builder confidence hit a 13-month low in July as companies worry about supply shortages and high costs. KB Home fell 4%.

on in-person contact. He said some of those industries may be moving to an “automated, no-contact model.” This trend is already showing up in the jobs data, with the recovery slower in industries that rely on public interaction, such as travel, leisure and hospitality. Those are jobs disproportionately held by women and people of color and typically pay lower wages, Powell noted. “It may be that some of these people will have a harder time finding their way back into the workforce

like that. “I would say that workers went back to the saw mills. There must be an economy of scale that they use if demand stays high then it is worthwhile for us to keep doing this. There is no difference with oil wells, they

without more education and training,” he said. He said there are millions of people who have lost service sector jobs and remain out of work and need to be supported. “That’s a part of the recovery that’s far from complete.” he said. Speaking to the audience of students and educators, Powell said the pandemic could turn out to be an historical inflection point that will allow the current generation of students to turn the lessons learned into “profound tools of change.” Students who have lived through the pandemic will see the world differently, he said.

“You have seen a world upended, but you have also seen a world that is rapidly changing — sometimes more in one week than some of us have experienced over the course of decades,” he said. “This is an extraordinary time and I believe that it will result in an extraordinary generation,” Powell said. At the town hall is an event started by Ben Bernanke, one of Powell’s predecessors as Fed chairman, and continued by former Fed Chair and now Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen. It seeks to highlight the importance of classes in economics.

will shut down when the price of oil drops below a certain point then when oil gets back to a certain point, they start pumping again.” Whether or not this price drop will be carried over into the end of year is unknown, but for right now there are no wild fluctuations expected in the lumber market unless something major happens, advised Mr Lleida. Gary Burrows, Tops Lumber and Plumbing’s general manager, agreed that prices have begun to come down but for him it is only on treated 2x4’s. He said: “2x4’s dropped

some, but we didn’t have anything come in recently that prices have dropped significantly, just those 2x4s now. I think some prices are coming down on the market, but we didn’t have anything come in as yet. “It could possibly be an increase in supply causing the prices to trend downwards, but I can’t say with certainty but I would assume so. “Certain things are still sky high... like formed plywood and the other kinds of plywood, I have not seen a decrease in prices there yet.”

US PROBING AUTOPILOT PROBLEMS ON 765,000 TESLA VEHICLES DETROIT Associated Press

THE US government has opened a formal investigation into Tesla’s Autopilot partially automated driving system after a series of collisions with parked emergency vehicles. The investigation covers 765,000 vehicles, almost everything that Tesla has sold in the US since the start of the 2014 model year. Of the crashes identified by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration as part of the probe, 17 people were injured and one was killed. NHTSA says it has identified 11 crashes since 2018 in which Teslas on Autopilot or Traffic Aware Cruise Control have hit vehicles at scenes where first responders have used flashing lights, flares, an illuminated arrow board or cones warning of hazards. The agency announced the action on Monday in a posting on its website. The probe is another sign that NHTSA under President Joe Biden is taking a tougher stance on automated vehicle safety than under previous administrations. Previously the agency was reluctant to regulate the new technology for fear of hampering adoption of the potentially life-saving systems. The investigation covers Tesla’s entire current model lineup, the Models Y, X, S and 3 from the 2014 through 2021 model years. The National Transportation Safety Board, which also has investigated some of the Tesla crashes dating to 2016, has recommended that NHTSA and Tesla limit Autopilot’s use to areas where it can safely operate. The NTSB also recommended that NHTSA require Tesla to have a better system to make sure drivers are paying

The NTSB has no enforcement powers and can only make recommendations to other federal agencies. “Today’s action by NHTSA is a positive step forward for safety,” NTSB Chair Jennifer L Homendy said in a statement on Monday. “As we navigate the emerging world of advanced driving assistance systems, it’s important that NHTSA has insight into what these vehicles can, and cannot, do.” Last year the NTSB blamed Tesla, drivers and lax regulation by NHTSA for two collisions in which Teslas crashed beneath crossing tractor-trailers.

step of accusing NHTSA of contributing to the crash for failing to make sure automakers put safeguards in place to limit use of electronic driving systems. The agency made the determinations after investigating a 2019 crash in Delray Beach, Florida, in which the 50-year-old driver of a Tesla Model 3 was killed. The car was driving on Autopilot when neither the driver nor the Autopilot system braked or tried to avoid a tractor-trailer crossing in its path. “We are glad to see

NHTSA finally acknowledge our long standing call to investigate Tesla for putting technology on the road that will be foreseeably misused in a way that is leading to crashes, injuries, and deaths,” said Jason Levine, executive director of the nonprofit Center for Auto Safety, an advocacy group. “If anything, this probe needs to go far beyond crashes involving first responder vehicles because the danger is to all drivers, passengers, and pedestrians when Autopilot is engaged.” Autopilot has frequently been misused by Tesla drivers, who have been caught driving drunk or even riding in the back seat while a car rolled down a California highway. A message was left seeking comment from Tesla,

which has disbanded its media relations office. Shares of Tesla Inc, based in Palo Alto, California, fell 4.3% on Monday. NHTSA has sent

investigative teams to 31 crashes involving partially automated driver assist systems since June of 2016. Such systems can keep a vehicle centered in its lane and a safe distance from vehicles in front of it. Of those crashes, 25 involved Tesla Autopilot in which ten deaths were reported, according to data released by the agency. Tesla and other manufacturers warn that drivers using the systems must be ready to intervene at all times. In addition to crossing semis, Teslas using Autopilot have crashed into stopped emergency vehicles and a roadway barrier. The probe by NHTSA is long overdue, said Raj Rajkumar, an electrical and computer engineering professor at Carnegie Mellon University who studies automated vehicles. Tesla’s failure to effectively monitor drivers to make sure they’re paying attention should be the top

US PROBING AUTOPILOT PROBLEMS ON 765,000 TESLA VEHICLES

FROM PAGE 7

priority in the probe, Rajkumar said. Teslas detect pressure on the steering wheel to make sure drivers are engaged, but drivers often fool the system. “It’s very easy to bypass the steering pressure thing,” Rajkumar said. “It’s been going on since 2014. We have been discussing this for a long time now.” The crashes into emergency vehicles cited by NHTSA began on Jan 22, 2018 in Culver City, California, near Los Angeles when a Tesla using Autopilot struck a parked firetruck that was partially

in the travel lanes with its lights flashing. Crews were handling another crash at the time. Since then, the agency said there were crashes in Laguna Beach, California; Norwalk, Connecticut; Cloverdale, Indiana; West Bridgewater, Massachusetts; Cochise County, Arizona; Charlotte, North Carolina; Montgomery County, Texas; Lansing, Michigan; and Miami, Florida. “The investigation will assess the technologies and methods used to monitor, assist and enforce the driver’s engagement with the dynamic driving task

during Autopilot operation,” NHTSA said in its investigation documents. In addition, the probe will cover object and event detection by the system, as well as where it is allowed to operate. NHTSA says it will examine “contributing circumstances” to the crashes, as well as similar crashes. An investigation could lead to a recall or other enforcement action by NHTSA. “NHTSA reminds the public that no commercially available motor vehicles today are capable of driving themselves,” the agency said in a statement.

“Every available vehicle requires a human driver to be in control at all times, and all state laws hold human drivers responsible for operation of their vehicles.” The agency said it has “robust enforcement tools” to protect the public and investigate potential safety issues, and it will act when it finds evidence “of noncompliance or an unreasonable risk to safety”. In June, NHTSA ordered all automakers to report any crashes involving fully autonomous vehicles or partially automated driver assist systems. Tesla uses a camera-based

system, a lot of computing power, and sometimes radar to spot obstacles, determine what they are, and then decide what the vehicles should do. But Carnegie Mellon’s Rajkumar said the company’s radar was plagued by “false positive” signals and would stop cars after determining overpasses were obstacles. Now Tesla has eliminated radar in favor of cameras and thousands of images that the computer neural network uses to determine if there are objects in the way. The system, he said, does a very good job on most objects that would be seen in the real world.

But it has had trouble with parked emergency vehicles and perpendicular trucks in its path. “It can only find patterns that it has been quote-unquote trained on,” Rajkumar said. “Clearly the inputs that the neural network was trained on just do not contain enough images. They’re only as good as the inputs and training. Almost by definition, the training will never be good enough.” Tesla also is allowing selected owners to test what it calls a “full self-driving” system. Rajkumar said that should be investigated as well.
