I thought Michigan reached peak stupid when our legislature devoted a huge amount of time and effort to repeal our motorcycle helmet law. Of course then we elected Trump, are encouraging kid Rock to run, and recently voted to allow concealed carry in schools, so I wasn't even close, but still pretty dumb. We seem to be moving more in the direction that individual choice is the only thing that matters always and forever. That's unfortunate because health societies should be a balance of individual rights and collective sense of community. I suppose one relevant question that liberalism struggles with is, "whose community?" Collective values have to have a foundation in some institution, and the sacrifice that comes with then is always going to favor some lifestyles over others. Not sure how to solve that broadly, but at least technology should make cars safer in the near future.
