America will progress like we usually do -- kicking and screaming, saying how unfair everything is while we are pulled by the short-hairs into the new century. If America wants to stay relevant, we should be leading industries, not trying to stifle innovation so our increasingly stale auto manufacturers can continue to deliver the same bullshit they've been shipping for years. In a "free" market plenty of people would afford to choose Chinese EVs, which are rapidly gaining in quality. Since Detroit can't compete on a level playing field, they bribe our federal government to implement protective measures against competition and our congress critters eat it right up.
