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.

I think you are confusing it with the IIHS (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety)
