This is a hilarious example of Hacker News tech bro style libertarianism, right down to the part where you think that you can just use your intuition as a substitute for knowing literally anything about car safety. Outside of ridiculous dumb money VC-funded startups, you can’t actually parachute into an industry and just make shit up.
