AFAIK , the states 'could' do the same kind of thing for all the 'safety' stuff also. Car that doesn't meet federal safety __ .. pay a $1 fine when you buy it.

I haven't seen any of the 50 states themselves (or the majority of people in any of the states) show an interest in doing that. Weather you think it's good or bad, I don't see the people themselves pushing for it.

The trend I see .. it is the majority of individuals that are supplying the pressure / push for perpetual safety improvement... Supply and Demand .. Companies and Government are only supplying what the majority keep pushing for.
