Not just destroy the environment. The US car industry will have a hard time developing and manufactoring cars which can be exported. Practically every other market will have stricter norms. China is betting big on electric cars, setting domestic restrictions forcing the Chinese car industry to innovate.
Then, the US will argue that the trade deficit is "unfair", while the real reason that markets will not buy US goods is that the products are anachronistic, sub-standard junk.
- pard68 7y agofwiw, cars made for the US market are generally only sold in the US market and it has been this way for quite some time
- mywittyname 7y agoThis is already kind of the case. The biggest selling vehicles in the US -- pickup trucks -- cannot be exported outside of North America. Due to both regulatory and practicality reasons. Even if you could buy an F150 in Asia, it's impossible to actually drive and fuel one unless you're wealthy. Ford and Chevy (and Honda, Toyota, VW, etc) already divide their product lines between USDM and global markets. There is some overlap, but the USDM does receive a lot of unique vehicles.
