A car that's safe to crash in is also impossible to build, but the NHTSA has standardized crash tests that they built up over time that has meaningfully made cars safer.

+1 for having a bare minimum requirements for IOT sellers against some standard testing criteria. Raise the bar but

Possibly another important would be NHTSA gathers and publishes numbers on accidents. Having some regularly published numbers would certainly shine more light and is probably lowest hurdle to cross from a political standpoint.
