They take this urgent issue so seriously that they will ban… new cars being made with this feature… by 2027! Great, after all only… peoples safety is in question!
Its a step into the right direction, but are we really in a world where we are to celebrate common sense decisions?
It’s interesting to see that China is taking this seriously and might ban them, while the US forgets more and more about “car safety”.
If China bans it, most manufacturers will have to follow their rules if they want to sell cars there, including Tesla.
It’s not much in the grand scheme of things but it’s nice to see that at least one major country is considering this.

2027 is only 1 model year away (2026 cars are already being sold). It took fucking forever for rear cameras to be mandated in the USA by comparison
I don’t get how that is comparably significant… Are the rear views of pickup trucks that obstructed?
Mandated rear view cameras came from recommendations from a series of particularly tragic coroner’s inquests.
Its hardly surprising, the US has shit consumer protections and I would have presumed that attitude went for health and safety too.
That said they can fit different handles if they wanted to, I am sure there are a lot of differentiators across markets.
