Wouldnt call it regulatory blood lust at the moment. I think the competitive situation that is however solely focussed in performance at any cost and not at compliance at all is forcing AI labs to play with fire. The risk for them is an even bigger regulatory backlash. Totally different industry : Chinese ebike manufacturers are currently pushing the rules for motor strength to the max due to competition. What will likely happen is stricter regulation of max support and motor power if there are incidents. Particularly there will be more regulatory fragmentation with little common denominator. This will hurt the whole industry's growth. In this industry it kind of still works as an agreement of non-Chinese manufacturers.
