@DuncanWatson Yup. It is bad. REALLY bad.
The agency has an enforcement budget of about $40 million USD - that might as well be nothing compared to the resources of the industry.
The NHTSA clings for dear life to its #FMVSS (Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards) dogma - which is inflexible and *at least* a decade out-of-date.
The agency could not even proactively discover dead-simple mechanical defects in the past... they stand *zero* chance against increasingly "software-defined" vehicles.
