But why the decision to ban Kei trucks from Rhode Island streets? Because the DMV claims they don’t meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS).

    Weird safety standards.
    They don’t care about pedestrians (see Cybertruck)?

      The cyber truck is safe for pedestrians. Can’t hit a pedestrian if it never leaves the repair bay for recalls.

      The EU takes pedestrians (and cyclists) in account for safety standards, the US doesn’t.

      The safety requirements this vehicle doesn’t meet could easily be regarding hood design; highly studied and regulated to minimize pedestrian injury such as sharp angles or being pulled under the hood.

        I’m convinced the only thing lawsuits are waiting for is the accidents where they maim pedestrians. CT is a disaster for Tesla.
