There is no need to invent new regulations. We already have criminal liability, endangerement from gross negligence, and manslaughter!

I do not see reason, why CEOs of big companies should be exempt from this!

If bus driver makes mistake, or someone drives drunk.... They get punished. This is the same thing!

The current regulations are written for a time where cars didn't have rolling computers in them. And even then, the regulations don't account for Tesla-style linked systems. So I say we do need new regulations.

Yes and we have the NHTSA (unless it's already been neutered by the chaos) who can accumulate statistics and issue recalls.

NHTSA's power is simultaneously very broad and narrow. They're empowered to investigate potential safety issues after the fact, but this may not be a safety issue in the very pedantic sense often used. NHTSA can proactively set standards, but the standards they've set (FMVSS) largely ignore modern electronics. So on and so forth.
