    How can a country that loves bureaucracy so much not have any rules at all about what multi-ton contraptions you can pilot at lethal speeds through the public space?

      It absolutely has rules! They make it more expensive to build, own and/or drive smaller, more reasonable vehicles, because of course they do.

        Yup, let’s let the industry monolith that’s trying to sell you larger, more expensive vehicles than necessary set rules on what vehicles are legal to sell. Oh, they’ve effectively banned smaller vehicles? They’ve also put in place Byzantine rules and approval processes only a large corporation can navigate without going bankrupt? I’m shocked.
