This reminded me of how MA passed a right to repair law in 2020. It led me to google about it, and apparently the NHTSA has overruled it [1]. :/

It's good that states are pushing the envelope on digital rights – hopefully, this one has a brighter future. I can't think of any industry-captured federal agency that has the jurisdiction to overrule this one.

This is the laboratory of democracy. States pass a patchwork of laws which get challenged in the courts. Law is revised and the process repeats. Eventually we understand it well enough to pass similar laws everywhere or even nationally.

They didn't over rule it, they just told people not to follow the law.

This leads to an awkward situation that will likely have to be resolved in court.
