   Bexley QuillfeatherHank, thanks. I'm broadcasting from an island I can't name, mostly because the island hasn't agreed to the name yet.

4. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorYou founded a coin called SafeSteer. Why should anyone take your view on vehicle safety data?

5. BQ

   Bexley QuillfeatherBecause I know flawed data intimately. My whitepaper had a typo in the word whitepaper. Investors called it a bold brand choice.

6. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorReuters says the data behind Tesla's safety claims is flawed. Regulators in Europe are paying attention. Is that a problem for the company?

7. BQ

   Bexley QuillfeatherRegulators are like the tide, Hank. They come in, they go out, and sometimes they take your shoes. I have no shoes now.

8. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThat is not an answer. Do you believe a company should lean on public relations when its safety numbers are questioned?

9. BQ

   Bexley QuillfeatherI believe in transparency. My own wallet addresses are fully public. Well, one of them. The others are in a coconut.

10. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorA coconut is not a custody solution. Last question. What would you tell European drivers about self-driving cars?

11. BQ

    Bexley QuillfeatherKeep your hands on the wheel and your lawyers on retainer. Wait, a helicopter just landed on my lawn. It's fine. It's probably fine.

12. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorWe will have to leave it there. This is a Reuters report about data, not a verdict on any car.

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorTesla is the ticker in question. Our guest is now the subject of a different kind of report. Thank you, Bexley.
