Who thought they were excessive? No one. The standards were a compromise with the automakers and the automakers all agreed to it.

What? The feds approved them already! Not to mention didn’t the feds just say that CA isn’t doing enough? Their whole message is contradicting.
It should be noted one should not confuse the executive branch as the federal government as a whole. The one who writes laws is congress, and congress has only allowed approving or denying the waiver application (and denial is only under 3 certain conditions), not the power to revoke waivers already granted. By…
Except:
Even if the system warns you, some things have to be reacted by the system because warning you would be too late. Human reaction times is by nature slower then computers. And computers can often take actions better than most people who haven’t taken defensive driving courses. And best of all, computers don’t feel road…
Not sure what you mean? Manufacturers beta test stuff all the time. The only difference is Tesla labeled it “beta”. Other than that, beta stuff in cars is quite common. I mean how many miles do you think a manufacturer tests before putting something into a consumer vehicle? Most of the premium vehicles are used to…
Yes, yes it is! That is the whole point! Only when you frame the logic through a different yet equal sense do you see how flawed it is.
Which is why the midpoint is sharing control of the system and as time goes on control is given more and more to solely the vehicle.
Of course it is up to society to decide what is safe enough, hence why I used quotes to represent it. But it’s hard to argue against it if it is safer then humans even if it might be as small as 10%. Safer is still safer.
By that logic, should cars even be allowed on roads? Until cars can get fatality rates down to 0, manufacturers shouldn’t be using us as guinea pigs and stop producing cars.
Well that isn’t 100% true, you could have a full view of the parking garage and not know where you parked your car. Albeit you can just find your car by making it blink its lights.
Not doing anything constructive? You are aware the EPA has been using CA as a role model for 50 years!
lol, you know the joke here? The Trump Administration argues that CA’s circumstances aren’t “extensive” enough to warrant a waiver to set stricter standards.
There is also that whole thing about Clean Air Act does not include anywhere the right to revoke a waiver that has already been given.
You feel guilty flying an airplane? Well then you better be driving an electric car.
Ah, right so we should just ignore studies and go with whatever feels good? The thing about studies is the data to them is publicly available and up for criticism. So if you find any bias, do tell.
It still is cars, its not as bad as it used to be but that doesn’t change the fact that cars still contribute quite a bit.
What larger picture? Abuse of power?
You can’t, even in your cabin in the woods, you’ll still find those “many blood sucking creatures”.
