Of course the largest most established carmakers would want to keep an effective form of regulatory capture in place. Byzantine and inconsistent regional compliance requirements raise the cost of market entry.
- tzs 7y agoThat seems like a weak argument, because almost everyone trying to enter the car manufacturing market is doing so with electric cars or other low emissions technology, and aren't inconveniences at all by California's emissions requirements.

So it should be free or cheap, since all California would be doing is querying the EPA for the data, then comparing those numbers to whatever California's standard is.
