I am perplexed at the reasoning behind the viewpoint common to many detractors, that basically amounts to:

"It is not an attractive option to me, so no one should be allowed to choose."

I'm sorry, but that's juvenile.

Another common sentiment is the need to cater to the lowest common denominator & turn every car into a tank. This one is easier to understand, since the gub'ment is taking on more nanny duties as time goes on. "But think of the Children!" Personal responsibility is dead. Maybe now they'll mandate that all cars must also float so that when our crumbling bridges collapse there will be fewer casualties, or when crash testing with planes will begin so that people don't die when airliners go off the runway & into traffic.
