US government to mandate automatic braking like Tesla's AEB at up to 62 MPH speed for all new cars and trucks

[A]

Comments that the gov't should focus on other 'harmful' things IMO is scary! It represents the acceptance of 'gov't' control! On the surface, giving up FREEDOM in exchange for security is historically a false choice! Moreover, referencing gov't sadly misses the mark! "Gov't" is a  necessary evil, an entity with a big hammer that's ALWAYS looking for nails to pound! Those 'nails' being representations of our remaining FREEDOMS! And the "gov't" weilding the hammer(s) is know-nothing power-mad losers and incompetents who couldn't compete in the market place of employment where merit, productivity are qualifiers. WE ARE DEEP INTO GOV'T CONTROL HAVING ACCEPTED THE EXCHANGE OF FREEDOM FOR SECURITY NOW HAVING NEITHER! ITS NOT THE PLACE OF GOV'T TO CONTROL FREE PEOPLES! TAKE BACK OUR ELECTIONS, OUR BORDERS, OUR CARS, OUR CONTROL!

Sorry, but no. Balancing freedom and security is always the norm of society, otherwise the result you get is anarchy. Do you believe someone has the freedom to murder people?

You want to pretend government is some unknown foreign entity, but government is a collection of people. And it is the people as a society that decide where the bar is. You and everyone simply got too hooked up into picking lesser of 2 evils instead of doing our job of making sure government is transparent and accountable
