I thought a car had to have that before it went on sale?

Believe it or not in the USA it’s actually based off of self compliance in the USA. There is no specific government body that has a standardized test that they have to pass to be made legal. The manufacture gets to make that decision themselves, then if there is an issue that the government finds later they can be pulled from the road.

I hope they get pulled from the road. Problem is, he'll just bribe some government officials
