Cars aren't safe anymore by standards and tests, they are now safe by declaration.
And Us American declarations are the best declarations in the whole world.
Therefore all the world is going to trust in Us American cars, finally.
And they are so much safer now than European cars, because Us American declarations are so superior to European safety standards and tests.
It’s been going on a long time, look at how cozy Boeing was with regulators
Man, idk. If I buy a foreign car, say a Hyundai Ionique (the new sexy one) how do I know it's manufactured to other international standards and not specifically American standards?
Well, you don't need to know anymore now :)
But if you are in Europe, the standards are still in force. No cars may be sold that do not meet these requirements. The manufacturer must declare the conformity for each model, and in addition they are tested by independent organisations sometimes.
Yeeeeuuup.
This is certainly going to improve the prospects of assembled in US cars getting exported...
Oh well, fuck it all I guess, burn it all down.
I'm sure Elon will try suing the EU to force them to buy his cars next.
That is how the free market works: When people don't wanna buy what you are selling, threaten to sue them for not volunarily agreeing to purchase your service or product.
