The maintenance argument doesn't make sense to me. Yeah, it sure would be bad if all these cars which are already driving around constantly and represent the overwhelming majority of all vehicles & mileage weren't professionally maintained by a big corporation, there oughta be a law against that!

You really have to start making bold claims about the validity of the data before mechanical failure is a meaningful portion of what causes car crashes.
