Personally, I'm kind of done having "national conversations", I don't think having all these fruitful perspectives has really driven us anywhere but mad. The people at the NHTSA need to be non-appointed SME's that heavily prioritize safety and balance efficiency and innovation below the safety threshold. The government then needs to respect them as an institution that protects people within its domain (drivers and pedestrians) and they need to either guide, force, or destroy violators.
