Check this out:

> (1) The outside diameter of the terminal end shall not be greater than 0.840 inches (2.134 centimeters).

Fantastic, that’s exactly what I was looking for, thank you! I thought maybe there would be an earlier law, this one is about 100 years after the advent of cars. I suppose we’re close to thirty years past what could reasonably be considered the advent of cell phones, so maybe legislation about now is reasonable.

I appreciate the find.
