    They’re not missing the point. They are actively obfuscating the real point so they can use the issue to push their agenda.

      agreed, but what is the agenda here? I’m not arguing I’m just curious what you think.

      Is it reducing liability costs? I imagine making car manufacturers more responsible could cause a heavy financial burden

        It’s basic libertarianism. They want to get rid of all regulations and let businesses do whatever they want. The bottom line is all that matters to them. They want to remove the requirements for these safety features will make it less expensive to manufacture cars, but it won’t lower the costs. Manufactures will just pocket those savings without passing them on to the consumer. And then they’ll move on to removing more regulations.
