The US safety ratings are incredibly easy to game. I have a sibling who used to be a crash test engineer, and we used to get bored of them endlessly ranting about it at family gatherings.

In many other countries it wasn’t even street legal because it couldn’t meet minimum safety standards.

Curious to hear any examples. In my experience, the US has the biggest, most beautiful safety standards of all.
