Valid. I understand where you're coming from.

That said, if China can provide safe and affordable EVs that aren’t connected to the internet… basically a dumb car that runs on batteries

That would be ideal. If that was the goal, I'd support requirements for that. But that's not what we have, we have gigantic tariffs that were implemented because America did the same.

Tariffs aside, the EU is already making it so cars with fewer screens and more buttons will get a higher safety rating.

That's a step in the right direction, and hopefully, the requirement for all vehicles to have an "offline mode" will be implemented soon, too.
