From: David Palmer
Dear New Zealand Transport Agency,
1. The NZTA website indicates that some Automated and autonomous vehicles can be tested in New Zealand. Has Tesla been granted permission to deploy this product in New Zealand by NZTA or any related government agency?
2. I would like a copy of any correspondence between NZTA and Tesla regarding their "Full Self-Driving" product being deployed in New Zealand.
3. I would like a copy of any communications or advice NZTA has received regarding the safety and legality of Tesla "Full Self-Driving" products in New Zealand.
4. I would like a copy of any communications or advice NZTA has received from partner agencies in Australia regarding Tesla "Full Self-Driving" products.
Yours faithfully,
David Palmer
