Nah, these are the exact standards US/euro cars are tested by, tested annually from regular production, not specially chosen cars.

Besides, it isn't like American or European companies didn't make production line cars that literally blew up if they rear-ended someone.

So far the manufacturing of exported Chinese EVs is doing very well, and each product is tested upon import anyway to make sure it conforms to the regulations of that country.

Tanking a potential market like this for the Chinese doesn't make any sense right now, at least outside of their country it makes the most corporate and political sense to do what they're doing and exceed European and American auto safety standards.

You should be more concerned about privacy invasion from the smart tech rather than the physical safety of the vehicles.
