A group representing American automakers sent a letter (PDF) Thursday to congressional leaders asking for a “permanent ban” on Chinese-made cars in the U.S. John Bozzella, the Alliance for Automotive Innovation’s CEO and president, described in the letter China’s manufacturing industry as “rooted in a well-documented pattern of unfair trade, subsidies, intellectual property theft and surveillance.” Bozzella addressed his request to Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.), Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) – urging them to back a “permanent ban on the sale, import and manufacture of Chinese connected vehicles,” before the 119th Congress concludes in January.
What are you talking about? The American auto industry has done plenty of innovations over the past decades. They’ve innovatively made trucks that are 6’ tall at the hood, and also have turned every brand of car into a SUV.
don’t forget the advances in headlight technology. traffic will be a solved problem once cars can vaporize each other with their high beams

I do not know where all the friendly bubble-shaped cars went. I don’t want an angry cube shaped like a battering ram, I want 4 armchairs with the most smooth, slick shape for low drag and impact softness wrapped around it.
If I could just buy a chinese EV I’d buy the Li Mega but its simply not allowed.
