"NTSB Criticizes Anti-Tesla Super Bowl Ads Over Autopilot Safety Concerns"

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has ordered the Dawn Project to stop using its seal after it appeared in a Super Bowl ad calling for a boycott of Tesla. The NTSB stated that its seal must be immediately removed from the Dawn Project’s website and YouTube page, as well as any further airings of the commercial, emphasizing that it did not authorize the use of its seal and does not endorse the work of the Dawn Project. The Dawn Project, a safety advocacy group funded by tech CEO Dan O’Dowd, has been campaigning against the use of Tesla's Full Self-Driving software and aired ads during the Super Bowl, which included the unauthorized use of the NTSB seal, prompting the agency to take action.
