California and the federal government know just how easy it is for automakers to meet this standards is because they do extensive testing before proposing any rules affecting emissions [emphasis mine]. These rules are the result of a negotiation in which both sides easily know the score.

Except when they’re lying to pass new laws: Assumptions and Lies

We’ve covered this time and time again, but the reason why regulators in both the state of California and the federal government know just how easy it is for automakers to meet this standards is because they do extensive testing before proposing any rules affecting emissions.

Wait what?

Lol you are dumb. The temperature, vibration, humidity, power consumption, heat dissipation requirements for an ECU means the i7 makes a terrrrrrible choice for a mobile controller.
