    What the fuck is with this title? This has zero to do with being “too safe” and everything to do with cost. Inflammatory title.

    That said, I highly doubt any cost that’s saved on the car makers side will be passed down to the consumer.

      while yes, it is an inflammatory title, it’s kind of the reverse of what the republicans are doing, which is phrasing that cars are too expensive in order to gut safety regs that cost car manufacturers money rather than make them money.

      Obviously not. They don’t want to bring prices down, they want to bring profits up. Representatives and senitors don’t give a shit about your safety in a car, but do care a lot about the big three car manufacturers stock buyback options. We’re less than worthless. We’re annoying voters they don’t need anymore, compated to a stock but back you’re a nuisance.
