The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has sent a letter demanding George Hotz's company comma.ai provide information pertaining to the safety of their system (https://www.scribd.com/document/329218929/2016-10-27-Special-Order-Directed-to-Comma-ai).

This morning [28 Oct], Ars Technica reports that George Hotz tweeted from Shenzhen that the comma one was now cancelled (https://twitter.com/comma_ai/status/791958413345382400).

comma.ai had just received a $3.1m investment from Andreessen-Horowitz in April (http://money.cnn.com/2016/04/04/technology/george-hotz-comma-ai-andreessen-horowitz/index.html).

    I should assume that Andreessen-Horowitz may have contrary opinions on what should be done with their investment?

    That kind of petulant reaction may be emblematic of a tech bro, but A26Z possibly may be worried that something supposedly ready for sale Real Soon Now® may just be a cloud of hot air.
