    That exactly is the problem with most laws passed these days. The political caste is so disconnected from normal everyday life of normal people that they aren’t even impacted directly by them anymore, so even if they wanted to, they can’t make normal laws for normal people.

        Probably, but it’s certainly more complicated. Fiat complained about the added cost of such systems. On the low budget end, this adds a noticeable chunk to the price. Bad for sales in the EU, added complications for export. I could imagine the “premium brands” like such regulations that remove some competition.

        The yahoo post in OP is a press release by a Swedish tech company that makes such systems. They’re not exactly part of the car industry, but they claim to have lobbied for this.
