Capabilities

Tools 6

get_case

Full record of one case by its reference (TMR-0123) or URL slug: summary, machine, dated timeline of what each source established, the sources with their tier and archive copy, and any linked NHTSA Standing General Order report.

Discovered
get_company

One company's cases with harm and escalation counts, breakdown by incident type, and the category average for comparison.

Discovered
list_companies

Every company with at least one published case: number of cases, how many went beyond the first report, and the share. Not a safety ranking: the register counts reported incidents, not incidents per machine.

Discovered
register_totals

Headline numbers: cases, cases that reached a regulator, recall or court, archived sources, companies, earliest year, last update, cases by country, and totals of the NHTSA Standing General Order file.

Discovered
search_cases

Search verified incidents involving commercial robots and autonomous vehicles (robotaxis, delivery robots, humanoids, industrial arms, surgical and consumer robots). Every case has at least two independent sources and is followed from first report to investigation, recall, fine, lawsuit or settlement. Returns case summaries with permanent URLs; use get_case for the timeline and sources.

Discovered
search_nhtsa_sgo

Crash reports filed under NHTSA's Standing General Order 2021-01 by automated driving system (ADS) and Level 2 driver assistance operators, 2021 to today, one row per report at its latest version, or one row per incident when grain is 'incident' (filings by several entities about one crash collapsed at the highest severity). Rows are the operators' own filings, not verified cases, and a filing does not establish fault.
