Are we going to completely ignore the absolute insanity of arresting someone for cheating on an exam.

Speed restrictions.

Kei trucks were designed for use in dense Japanese cities, which is why they also work in European cities. They are nimble but have a low top speed. You’re not going 70 mph around a street corner for instance.

It would work in places like NYC for the same reasons, but remember that most of the USA is suburban or rural. You need vehicles that are capable of going fast if you’re going to get on a highway.

A possible workaround is to have a separate class for these, like mopeds or scooters, which are road legal but are not highway legal.

Something something free market

Leave that to the customer to decide. Or is that not the point of the free market?

Well, if the US spies on its own citizens can you imagine the shady shit they’d do on Chinese citizens?

I also wonder if restrictions on software are in response to the US restricting access to Huawei tech in allied nations. This shit is not new.

I also wouldn’t put it past US officials to inflate something for their own purposes - what if the Chinese requirement is for Chinese language software and it got turned around into Chinese software to serve an agenda.

Oh I read the article and found most of it to be rehashed arguments about Huawei.

China is the largest producer of EVs in the world by far (the next country on the list, Germany doesn’t even come close). In fact, China produces more EVs than the next 4 top producers combined.

The US is running scared because there is absolutely no way they can compete, unless they severely handicap the competition.

So, instead of free competition in Western markets, we have coddled American companies that are “too big to fail” that will continue producing obsolete technologies. If we haven’t already, we’ll start to see Boeing’s product issues in American cars.

Have they tried getting them to play tic tac toe?

There’s a reason the US is targeting China from various fronts (trade restrictions, sanctions, etc.). China is a powerhouse and the US is terrified of being left behind.

Imagine achieving this while being blocked by western anti competition moves.

No wonder the US is running scared. This is what China is able to do while handicapped. Imagine what would happen if we let them realize their full potential?
