While true, the are a government organization susceptible to political influence. We could greatly shrink the number of accidents with some very low tech requirements like mandatory full lights and headlights at all times if the car is in gear plus mandatory fish eye mirrors in all side views. These are literally almost free changes but not law. We all know that distraction (texting, nav, infotainment) is another category but we don't have any car rules to mitigate this. Instead we pass largely unforceable laws like "texting and driving is illegal".
