US government investigating Tesla over delays in reporting self-driving accident data

In early August, a federal jury found Tesla partly responsible for a 2019 autopilot crash that killed a pedestrian. During the trial, lawyers for the plaintiffs showed that Tesla had withheld and denied having important crash data.

Now, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is looking into the cause and scope of such delays in submitting crash reports for accidents involving Tesla’s self-driving technology.

CEO Elon Musk has repeatedly said that autonomous driving is central to the company’s value proposition going forward. A government finding that undermines the viability of that technology could potentially alter investors view of the automaker.

Paramount sues Warner Bros. for more info on its deal with Netflix, says it plans to nominate new directors

It’s a fresh week and that means a fresh bit of escalation in the ongoing Warner Bros. Discovery merger drama.

At an upcoming meeting, Paramount Skydance plans to “nominate a slate of [WBD] directors who, in accordance with their fiduciary duties, will... enter into a transaction with Paramount,” CEO David Ellison wrote in a letter to WBD shareholders disclosed on Monday.

Ellison also said that Paramount sued WBD in Delaware court in an effort to force the board to disclose “basic information” that will allow shareholders to make an informed decision between Paramount’s offer and one from Netflix. WBD shares dipped about 2% on Monday morning.

The latest update follows Paramount’s move last week to reaffirm — but not raise — its $30-per-share offer for WBD. Some saw that decision as Paramount effectively throwing in the towel on its merger hopes, given that the same deal has been rejected twice by the WBD board and winning over shareholders directly is a difficult process. Monday’s disclosure appears to signal that whether it loses or not, Paramount isn’t going to make Netflix’s acquisition easy.
