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).

    This is why software developers cannot be called "Engineers". Engineers are required to have responsibility and accountability, which is something that the average developer is just not capable or willing to accept.
