I don't understand how the NHTSA is holding anything up. They are a private organization that does testing for the insurance companies. They don't have the power to mandate anything.
I think the article is misleading. Manufacturers are free to introduce anything that doesn't violate DOT standards. They don't want to introduce because they don't want to get a bad score in the NHTSA test, so they are waiting for the test to be made public so that they can design their systems to beat the test. |
From the linked article:
As it stands, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration mandates that vehicles have distinct high and low beams, disallowing lights that can dynamically adjust.

And from Wiki:
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is an agency of the Executive Branch of the U.S. government, part of the Department of Transportation.
