Opt-out has been becoming more common throughout the world. Some countries only offer conditional opt-out.
In the U.S. 33% of organ donation come from motor vehicle accident. Reduced driving due to Covid put a dent on organ donation. Long term, as cars go more autonomous, vehicular related fatalities would decrease drastically.
The U.S will have to follow the same model.
