          Indeed, that’s what a commodity is.

            No, they see commodities as something useful to them

    The “revolving door” concept will always happen in regulated environments unless explicitly banned.

    You need experts to draft the legislation and experts in fields generally go to work for industry.

    It should also be noted that self driving cars are coming and should (if they deliver on their promises) improve safety for all citizens and improve QoL for many road users. Smart regulation here can help make sure risks are correctly minimised.

    I don’t like cars or our dependance on them, but sticking our head in the sand and pretending they’ll be banned soon is also not an option.

    In other words, they won’t be regulated.
