When government says things should be accessible I can see that as a good thing. It's a law to prevent unfairness to those who can't see/hear/etc. It's a discrimination issue. When they legislate fuel efficiency that makes sense because it's a health and public safety issue. But for government to decide on manufacturing policy based on personal preferences there is no way to do that correctly. It's the consumers who get to do that.

The next step might be to tell car makers they can only make red cars. Hmmm! Actually I kinda like that idea.
