One thing that is dumb is the tire pressure monitoring system requirements. Then speaking of ABS, I learned yesterday Honda has found a way to game the TPMS requirement by using the wheel speed sensors instead. I was looking at a new wheel and tire package for my sister's 2016 CRV and couldn't figure out why there were no TPMS sensors available. It doesn't use them. So sometimes grouping some of these regulations could save money and I hope more makers go the route of ditching the in wheel TPMS.
