I like your idea.
The only reason all those accessories are mandated, is because the car industry made it so, thus increasing the value (profit) of a standard car.
We could just as easily 'mandate', a different class of vehicle. Call it a classic class, or something. For example, motorcycles don't have back up cameras, air bags, etc.
Back to the consumer having a choice. Similar to right to repair.

Motorcycles don’t have a reverse gear and airbags only help if you have seatbelts. Not sure what your point is. Motorcycles are radically more dangerous for riders than passenger cars are for drivers.
