Also, the government mandates a technology, and leaves the companies out to dry
when the technology is rushed into use by law. Airbag suits were not thrown out
when someone was hurt or killed by an airbag that performed exactly in the
mandated manner.

There's another problem here. Technology which is rushed into wide use
by government mandate may not be completely understood and hence not
fully developed. This happened with air bags and produced a lot of
injuries.
