How will you handle all of the "its not fair" complaints that claim competitors were tested under better conditions?
And also, how will you ensure that certain manufacturers aren't actually given better conditions?
- lordnacho 11y agoHave a large number of tests, let the law of large numbers rule (eg let 1000 random people borrow each type of car). Have a think about whether there's some bias between the manufacturers built in and adjust your sampling accordingly. Make the data available to scrutiny.
- kardos 11y agoThat doesn't sound expensive
- Dylan16807 11y agoI agree. Paying people to do comprehensive tests in a few locations will probably cost less than a single brand new car, of which they're making thousands to millions. Even a thousand test drives is not that much; 20 cars borrowed for a month is more than enough to do those.

- sokoloff 11y agoThe essence of tightening emissions and CAFE standards (as currently implemented) is that they are hard to meet and even passing manufacturers are generally "just barely" passing. For CAFE, makers sell some high mpg models at cost/slight loss to allow them to sell high-margin luxury and sports models.
