Trump’s transition team is looking for policymakers for the Department of Transportation and one of its agencies in the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to spearhead self-driving regulation, likely easing the rules to enable faster development. Tesla (TSLA) investors have good reason to watch the bromance between billionaire CEO Elon Musk and President-elect Donald Trump very closely. If the love continues, it could eventually prove quite lucrative for the electric vehicle maker. Tesla’s FSD more formally known as full self-driving — is an advanced driver assistance system that’s currently available in its electric vehicles. The technology was recently showcased at Tesla’s October robotaxi event in Los Angeles, where a test car pitched as a taxi drove attendees without anyone in the front seat. The car didn’t have a steering wheel. Will Tesla realize its potential on robotaxis and self-driving during Trump’s term ?
