Probably, but it’s certainly more complicated. Fiat complained about the added cost of such systems. On the low budget end, this adds a noticeable chunk to the price. Bad for sales in the EU, added complications for export. I could imagine the “premium brands” like such regulations that remove some competition.

The yahoo post in OP is a press release by a Swedish tech company that makes such systems. They’re not exactly part of the car industry, but they claim to have lobbied for this.
