Sure but if a luxury car is safer than any other car it’s not because it was regulated to be. The laws don’t discriminate. It’s because they have to sell higher priced cars by making appealing features and that includes safety. And then the features make their way to the lower end cars. So having a market where rich people can buy greater safety in the end gives greater safety to everyone.

> Sure but if a luxury car is safer than any other car it’s not because it was regulated to be. "Sure but" but what? I see zero people commenting on an article titled "Safety Today is a Luxury" arguing that the only reason luxury cars are safer is due to regulation. >So having a market where rich people can buy greater safety in the end gives greater safety to everyone. I think this is a great pipeline, and and it's worked really well when it's been coupled with a followup: strong consumer protection regulations that make sure the best features are in all the cars.
