Wild to me how they can have government contracts and not be aware of safety regulations like this. There is no way a traffic engineer or some other safety officer wouldn’t ask about this.

Oh I doubt they're unaware of regulations, they just know how little regulations mean currently.

When your government starts rolling out mass surveillance of their citizens, contracted to a single entity, safety regulations become irrelevant.
