I don't want to deregulate everything, especially not all security regulations on cars. What is needed is removing distance between regulators and users.

Would you rather buy a locked down laptop which is factory protected against viruses (with a known set of them) but no chance to modify nor understand the virus protection system. Or, choose for a regulating system that punishes those who help spread viruses because no scanner was installed?

The latter teaches the users more and keeps them closer to the product. It creates a market where more parties can enter and provide security advice.

Lastly, the 'stepping over death and destruction' is obviously a straw man. We have seen many deregulations that we in dire need and worked out well. It all depends on transparency and communication.
