That's a fair point but I don't think it will be regulations that drive those major changes. I think it will come down to economic considerations driving some solutions out of the market rather than heavy-handed regulation. It's my hope anyways that this is the case - that economics drive out some solutions before a bunch of people get killed before regulations are written in response to that. But I guess we'll see!
Bet on a combination of both. Economics will drive out some really good but high end approaches, one off mayhem and subsequent regulation, or hopefully preemptive regulation but don't hold your breath, will eliminate some (pardon the expression) fly by night half baked idiocy. Then a few middle ground concepts will be developed a little further until accidents pare that field down to a standard. In the end the standard probably will not really be the best of that bunch, just the luckiest.
