Safety comparison little less than model 3- Etron

[milepost1]

Showing my euro bias here, but until light standards are changed half the cars sold in the USA should be given a giant minus for the headlights as they are utter rubbish, candles in jam jars would be better a description for some vehicles I have had the displeasure of having to drive at nighttime over here.

So while things have improved in the upper trim levels, until the latest matrix led and advanced projector head lights are legal manufactures are just going to continue to offer bean counter specials lower down or have to try and downgrade the existing matrix head lights to work with antiqued regs.

So while I commend the IIHS for marking down poor headlights they also need to push on the regs being changed, and while they are at it I would also get them to consider docking marks for non amber turn signals in the rear and get those regs updated so animated ones don't need to be composed from oversized blobs forcing the continued use of red.

I think we all have no problems with letting 60's cars continue to be grand fathered in with legacy rules but it is time for the USA lighting regs to join the 21st century and manufactures can then save money buy being able to use the same light units in multiple regions.

I agree 100% EU seems to have better regs and up to date. Even better if EU and US took best of both and had just one set of regs. Would really help auto makers.

Injury [erosion] need not occur instantaneously as you assert.

I find the bouncing car and train pushing comments equally inscrutable.
