Well, the government does already set a bunch of standards for cars.
And before the car leaves the factory, it's fine for the government to be issuing mandatory standards for lights, spare parts, seatbelts, crash safety, pedestrian protection, fuel economy and so on.
But the government having a second, secret set of requirements? That can change without anyone being notified? To me that seems rather irregular.
- op00to 4y agoThere's no federal standard that says cars must not explode in a fireball during refueling. If one make of car started exploding, you'd see the federal government get involved very quickly. To me, that seems like a responsible way to react to an irregular situation.
- endisneigh 4y agoThe cars are not exploding. The government has no reason to car about your private property. Should bike manufacturers be sued as well for the rampant bike theft that happens in virtually every city in America? Gimme a break Affected owners should put together a class action and force a recall on the affected cars. As for those who actually got their cars stolen - they should take that up with the police and their insurance.
