They can keep using whatever they're currently using.

This doesn't take away anything. It's a new standard.

Based on your argument, one should add new safety standards to cars like seat belts, because old cars might not have them.

To be fair, some municipalities do actually require old cars to be fitted with seatbelts... air bags, not so much, because apparently changing a steering column is too hard?

  • Well, I just noticed I said 'should' and not 'shouldn't' which I wanted to say

    But to your point,

    While they might not be required to retrofit, one shouldn't stop defining new safety standards.
