NHTSA has coerced the States- with boatloads of grant money- into it's draconian vision of Utopia with, among other things, it's patently ridiculous "Towards Zero Deaths" program. While working to improve safety is wonderful, I think that they called it "Towards ZERO Deaths" is revealing in a way they did not intend. We know, they know, everybody knows ZERO deaths is never going to happen, just as zero bathtub and zero stairway and zero sidewalk deaths aren't ever going to happen, but a mission statement like that pretty much guarantees the perpetuation of the organization and program to infinity, and it also gives them carte blanche to dictate pretty much as they see fit.
