      FDA has decided it is okay to poison food and EPA has decided it’s okay to poison the water…What makes you think automotive safety laws.will.be upheld?

      The car is ridiculously expensive. So it’s not like a poor will.be driving it causing problems for.the rich.

      Pretty sure society has decided rich people.can.cause problems at the expense of others and commit crimes as much as they want.

      Not to mention where the hell does the car land, and how does it guarantee it won’t land on another car, a pedestrian, etc.
