*NHTSA is announcing 16 members of a new Advisory Committee on Underride Protection as well as an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to better protect passengers in crashes into the sides of larger vehicles*

@Leisureguy @ProPublica This ProPublica article is about what happened *before* Biden and Buttigieg took office. is working on a rule to deal with this issue as well as on ways to regulate train length but that will probably need Congressional action.

But eventually, even the most expensive delaying tactic fails. Car manufacturers were set to come under the state right to repair rule this month, but they got a last minute reprieve, from Biden's own , who sent urgent letters to every major car manufacturer, telling them to ignore the Massachusetts repair law:
