Those who complain about the safety regulations are those willing to shoulder the risk of products which are less safe. They don't want the regulations because it does not let them decide their level of protection (and therefore, indirectly, their ability to have lightweight, cheaper cars, etc.). I have a proposition: Make any cars sold here that don't pass the crash-test standards single-seaters. Or, give thorough warning to any occupants that they are driving in a non-approved car.

What bothers me the most is, they can reverse engineer a lot of the technology but not crumple zones? Or safety in general? Or do they just not care? Money issues? What is the deal here!

Did you see that dummy's head though, and his arm? Also we can't go judging cars from old crash tests. Finally the dummy's legs don't look good...

I don't know about "any time soon" - the first car that crumpled up was only two years ago. They're making huge strides.

The floor was torn up, intrusion from the pedals, bare sheet metal cutting up the legs and the dummy's head went through the airbag. |

I don't quite see any of that really makes difference. Safety standard is always evolving. And yet other companies are able to score well even with the moving target. Was Brilliance the only car company that didn't get the memo?

China is still a couple decades away from building a quality car.
It will happen, but like Toyota in the 60's and Honda in the 70's, it's going to take time. |

You mean, it's stupid to penalize a car for not having what has proven to reduce fatal accidents by 30~40%? How do you feel about the airbag then?
