BTW I'm not blaming young people for these things, I'm blaming the US public education system for almost universally dropping driver's ed, and insurance companies who think these things reduce crashes. I haven't kept up on the latest NHTSA requirements so I don't know if any of these are mandated in the US.

I think this is less NHTSA mandated safety features and more one toe forward towards the future of autonomous driving vehicles. Others like Tesla have taken a much bigger leap forward. It is inevitable just like EV. We may not like it but it is where we're going.
As far as NHTSA we still don't have approval for adaptive headlights/laser lights. I don't think they're capable of thinking about mandating any sort of crash avoidance automation yet
