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.
