Department of Government Efficiency is firing nearly half of a small government team that regulates autonomous vehicles.

The firings are part of a broader 10% reduction at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration ( NHTSA ) as a result of firings of probationary workers and buyout offers.

The agency has investigated Tesla several times due to accidents that happened while Autopilot was engaged.
