None of your defenses work outside of a thought experiment where every actor is rational. Real human beings are anything but, and there's a long history of precedents for why all of your positions here are bad ideas (and why regulatory bodies like NHTSA, DOT, and other regulators became necessary).

Likewise, politicians have every incentive to act in ways that benefit themselves and their friends at the expense of everyone else. In both cases I acknowledge the capabilities of these humans to use their own brains to think, but only politicians have an incentive become corrupt.
