Doesn’t a car require regulatory approval? If a car is approved with a feature that is a safety risk, the problem is with the rules at least as much as with the car.
- Hamuko 6y agoI've read (in connection with Cybetruck's road-legality) that the US doesn't really have that strict regulatory approvals. Don't know for sure as I'm not American nor do I work with car certification. >There is a major difference between the self-certification standards in the United States and Europe's homologation rules. In the US, manufacturers build their cars to be roadworthy and they are checked by agencies on a random basis. In Europe, "50 to 60 regulations must be observed for vehicles," Teller said. How pickup trucks are tested also differs greatly in the US, where most light-duty models are exempt from passive safety and pedestrian protection. https://carbuzz.com/news/tesla-cybertruck-wont-be-legal-in-europe https://carbuzz.com/news/tesla-cybertruck-wont-be-legal-in-e...
