Musk lobbies German transport ministry over Tesla driver assistance

Original: steffen bilger

Steffen Bilger, the German transport ministry's parliamentary state secretary, is at the centre of reports that Elon Musk successfully lobbied the ministry over Tesla's driver assistance system. According to taz, the federal government is taking a favourable line toward Tesla's Autopilot-style technology, prompting debate about the closeness between Musk and German transport policymakers.

Why now: Fresh reporting alleges Tesla's lobbying of the German transport ministry succeeded under Bilger's watch, raising transparency questions.
