It takes quite a bit of hubris to think that just one more regulatory straw will somehow turn the camel into a race horse.
Listening to people when you said you could just add more regulation to solve the problem is how we got here. Cameras were the regulatory easy fix you people put forth when you couldn't stop backing over your kids (was more of a moral panic than a widespread thing but I digress). The OEMs, not being idiots, decided that if they had to have screens to display camera output they might as well make the best of it and use them. Fast forward 10yr and here we are, touchscreens in everything and cars that practically can't be backed without the camera.
