Speaking with Lauer as the two played a round of golf, Jenner did admit that the trauma of the car accident is something that will never go away, but was firm in saying that she was traveling under the speed limit of 50mph at the time of the crash.
Prosecutors are now trying to determine if Jenner exercised proper caution and what her role was in the crash that killed Kim Howe.
Helping Jenner's case is an $18.5million lawsuit that was just filed against Howe's estate buy the passengers of another car in the accident who claim she was the negligent driver.
TMZ reports however that those same passengers may also sue Jenner. 
Jenner also told Lauer that she does not miss being a man at all, and that she feels lucky to have lived her life as both a man and a woman.
She also said she believes everyone wonders what it is like to live as the opposite sex. 
'I think about my life — and where I'm at in my life right now. What a tremendous experience this is. Hardly nobody gets to live two genders in their life,' said Jenner.
'Everybody wonders, "Oh, what's it like to be coming from the other side? You know, their thinking, the way they act, everything?" 
'And here I have the opportunity to do that. And to be honest with you, everything's so new and fun. From that standpoint, it's been great.'

When Lauer at one point voiced how nervous he was about using incorrect pronouns, Jenner told him not to worry and said she was not as critical of those mistakes as other members of the transgender community.
Jenner was also asked how she felt about Halloween costumes that are being sold in her likeness based on her Vanity Fair cover, which have come under fire by many in the public who find them tasteless and transphobic. 
'I'm in on the joke. I don't think it's offensive at all,' said Jenner.
'I know the community does and they've gotten a lot of criticism for doing it. I think it's great.'
She then joked; 'They could have a better looking outfit for him, you know?'
