I think this makes sense from a manufacturer's perspective; similar to the debate about US national emissions standards and California state standards, etc. I would be surprised if there had been input from the manufacturer's legal teams on this as well (attempting to limit liability when folks...

Right, this is what I was assuming. But my question is what exactly the bike manufacturers and their lobbyists gain from this approach? Are they assuming (maybe rightly) that there must be some regulation of these things and that this sort of regulatory approach is the lesser of the evils? Or ?
