Hello listener. Here are some highlights from this weeks episode:

• NHTSA is making GM Cruise submit a report of it's software updates every 90 days. Anthony suggests NHTSA ask for the commit logs and other developer documentation so they don't get gaslit.
• Tesla's FSD requires a human to do the full self driving part.
• Consumer Reports looks at the CyberTruck and they think visibility sucks.
• Kia gets hacked and provides a good example of bad cybersecurity in the auto space.
• Fred explains latency and it's got nothing to do with lace or lattes.
• plus recalls and more
