      Yeah. Drive control systems are heavily regulated. Whether or not approval was granted after a review process is, well, unknown to me.

      Of note, the secretary of transportation when this system gained approval was previously the secretary of labor under Bush and had bragged about record low OSHA violations under her tenure.
      A later report found that this was achieved by OSHA not investigating violations.

        Whether it’s due to a lack of regulations or regulatory capture I’m pretty sure they needed as much approval as Boeing did for MCAS and Sachler for Opium pain killers.
