This isn't out of the blue. During the legislative process there was back and forth among NHTSA and MA sentators and representatives: https://www.nhtsa.gov/sites/nhtsa.gov/files/documents/nhtsa_testimony_in_response_to_ma_committee_letter_july_20_2020.pdf https://www.nhtsa.gov/sites/nhtsa.gov/files/documents/nhtsa_... That frankly shows this was not unexpected. And there was responsible transparent discussion between relevant parties. The NHTSA was doing their job. Maybe the MA senators and representatives were lobbing them a softball, explicitly calling out cybersecurity instead of leaving review topics up to NHTSA, in hopes of this happening. But that is obviously paranoid and an avenue of discussion that is difficult to talk about. So, I'll just let that go.
