the only life a republican values (other than their own) is that of a fetus, and even that is temporary.

And only if the fetus ain't miscegenated...
Honestly the Canyonaro doesn't even seem that big anymore.
Yep, that $2 sensor is really driving up costs.
And running the wiring with the rear lights wiring is sooooooo expensive to install.
If we're talking about the radar+cameras, it's about $30-40 each. Not insignificant, but for basic AEB it's a small price for something that massively reduces collisions
Capping the luxury features and size of passenger vehicles would do a lot more to bring down costs than removing safety features.
The average cost isn't the problem; the base cost is.
There are good arguments for limiting vehicle size and weight for safety reasons, but that's a separate issue.
If anyone hasn't figured it out yet, Republicans want everyone who isn't rich to die. We are roaches to them and anything they can do to step on us is a step forward for them.
Compact cars are all in the low $20,000 range, so I don't know what affordability problem they're talking about for vehicles. Oh, that's right, many Americans have an insatiable desire for mobile fortresses that cost $100,000. Well, I'm sure not having ABS or rear cameras on those will turn out well for everyone else and shave off $500.
And I've never been inconvenienced by an alert that I had stuff in the back seat after a trip to the grocery store. It keeps forgetful parents from leaving their kids in hot cars, especially in the aforementioned parking lot tanks.
I basic light truck ran $19k in 19. A sedan, $14k.
Wages haven’t gone up.

Buddy my whole car was $500 and I have an insatiable desire to keep it that way. Less components not more across the board please. I don't know what kind of bougie-ass bubble you're living in where a cheap car is $20k, but I sure hope it pops while we've still got a planet
I'm talking about new compact car prices, not used car prices, because the article is talking about attempting to bring down new car prices by removing safety features.
Car prices have always been around that much, adjusted for inflation.
Let R's own making seatbelts optional.
OMFG, these things (I can't call them people) are monsters [get rid of rear-seat reminders]!
