The nanny state strikes again: Dozens of kids die in hot cars every year—a new bill aims to prevent it: link
The stupid seat belt sensors that are currently mandated works so well. Put anything in the seat and either buckle the thing or listen to an annoying noise constantly.

How about we lock those bozos in a hot car and forget about them instead? Just what we need, more government mandated BS that will drive up costs for everyone because of a few stupid toadstools that should have never reproduced to start with.he legislation—co-sponsored by representatives Tim Ryan (D-Ohio), Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.), and Pete King (R-N.Y.)—orders the Secretary of Transportation to begin drafting regulations mandating the installation of sensors that can detect a child or pet in a vehicle's back seat. If the car detects someone inside after the engine has been turned off, it would issue a "distinct auditory and visual alert to notify individuals inside and outside of the vehicle." Vehicle manufacturers would have two years to implement the technology after the regulation was finalized.

On the one hand, any death of a child due to parental negligence is unacceptable, this seems to me to be another thing that's just going to drive up the cost of a car for everyone to address an issue that impacts a small percentage. I suspect there are better ways to address this.
