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.
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?
Presumably before you buy something as expensive as a new car, I'd assume you'd look at reviews.
You'd be able to see the car's Euro NCAP ratings, which, to be frank, were always much more comprehensive in testing than NHTSA anyway.
This isn’t foolproof.
The same car might be manufactured in multiple factories for multiple markets, to multiple levels of certification.
Your “new car” in one country, could be the previous years European model if the euro regs have changed.
That's true.
