CHANGE: Car Safety’s Getting an Upgrade—Here’s What’s Coming by 2029.. “Via FMVSS No. 127, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration mandates new vehicles be capable of detecting other vehicles, objects, and pedestrians and then providing automatic emergency braking to either prevent hitting them or greatly reduce the damage or injury if avoidance is impossible. These features must be phased in on all new light vehicles by September 1, 2029.”

KURT SCHLICHTER: Dems, Please Cry More About the New Rules. “There’s nothing wrong with taking pleasure in the misery of someone who richly deserves to be miserable. While crying about hypocrisy is the act of the impotent, being a hypocrite is still bad, and it’s still fun to see hypocrites suffer righteous retribution.”

The idea that we should somehow hand-wave away what they’ve done, maybe shaking our heads and tsk tsk tsking a bit, but definitely not taking any concrete action, is ridiculous. History bears this out. If you keep taking Schiff, all you’ll ever eat is Schiff sandwiches.”
