There is a difference between performance standards and options. Sure, there is regulations that says the brakes have to be high quality and the air bags need to recognize when there's someone in the passenger seat. That's the same as regulating that surgeons have licenses and wash their hands and that there are plenty of sutures and an anesthesiologist in the operating theatre.

Totally disagree. There are 1000's of minimum standards for cars, from airbags to padded dash to ... could go on forever. You build a house, there are 1000's of minimum standards. Drugs, street lights, clothing, aircraft, anything with a motor, car insurance, home insurance, even health insurance prior to ObamaCare all have minimum standards. It's what the whole regulatory regime is about.
