I agree, of course, but I doubt that goes over well on Capitol Hill
Well yes, humans in general and politicians in particular are not very good at doing the thing that kills fewer people

Maybe it does kill fewer people, but it also takes away the feeling of being in control of whether you'll be the one in a crash. Historically, we're bad at implementation of things that take away control, so if you want fewer people at risk, deal with that, first.

I actually do think token features that actually give little (potentially harmful) control relative to their function in creating the *appearance* of control will probably be a big part of the pitch that wins
