The elephant in the room is that the NHTSA still doesn't have a director, and hasn't had a long-term director since 2017.

Steven Cliff was the director for 2 months in 2022. Aside from that, this important safety organization has been... erm... on autopilot (see what I did there?) and leaderless.

How are we supposed to keep tabs on car safety if the damn agency in charge of automobile safety doesn't even have a leader?
