This, and many other things are the consequences of elections. Empowering the NHTSA to set standards with real enforcement power is a philosophy some of us might think is the proper role of government. I spent most of my work career adjacent to heavily regulated industries. While it was common we might complain about regulation, standards that value the public and highlight and penalize the outliers is almost always a good thing in my opinion.
