Please. US market next.
the real fear is that in some war scenario a country like China could flip a switch and turn millions of self driving cars into mass murder machines. they could even claim to have been hacked. the reality is that all of the self driving systems should be vetted like NASA level for security and robustness etc.. but of course that would slow development and raise costs to become uncompetitive.
can Elon Musk be trusted with everyones lives? can he prove it?
I think that the real fear is that the US would loose that manufacturing capability. Cars, and the technology/factories, to produce them are a pillar for both the US economy and military. Loosing that capability would be problematic for the US.
Yeah maybe this would have made sense in... The 50's?
Everyone has nukes nowadays. If even one of these EV's is half as dangerous as a Tesla, I'm sure the army of american racists will ban them to hell and back.
And if things ever escalate, China loses their biggest golden goose, the american market, only hurting themselves in the process
Okay, then just write it into law that "China can sell cars in the US, but those cars don't have the capability to do x," (in your case, be self-driving). No one is benefiting from a complete embargo on affordable EVs but the executives of Ford, GM, and Stellantis
