"It's easy to want to drive one of these cute kei cars. It's another thing to put your family in them and travel down the highway at 70 mph," one expert said.

        There’s something of a Nash equilibrium with everyone needing a bigger and bigger truck to stay safe. These giant trucks are very unsafe for pedestrians and use up lots of unnecessary space. Reversing this trend would be great.

            “with many lacking even airbags”. Meaning there are some that include it and that is only if you imported from Japan.

            Trump wants to manufacture in the US. All you’d do is build the US made cars with the necessary safety features like normal.
