Replace seat belts with piano wire and make air bags with 50x the explosive charge but replace the airbag with ball bearings.

    Natural selection has been removed. Now republicans are trying to reintroduce it.

    They'll (mainly) be the ones affected. I say let it happen.

    Then again, I don't like most people.

    The article is saying that one of the main things they are trying to axe is Automatic Emergency Braking requirements, and it links to a page with this video. The people in the biggest vehicles will be mostly fine I think, it's everyone else that's in trouble here.
