Since discussion is completely OT, mind as well...
The discussion was not about ESP, but about crash tests -- mechanical safety by design. Which protects drivers and their passengers not only from the results of their own driving, but also from third parties' behavior, which is out of their control.
To my (Western) mind, building cars which sacrifice solid safety design is just like allowing unsafe work practices or massive environmental pollution in the production of consumer goods: For the sake of profit, and maybe the sake of making cheap toys available to consumers, the manufacturer puts human lifes and health at risk.
What about motorcycles with even less safety?
I actually think that drivers with a history of behavior (e.g. drunk or reckless driving) that put the public at risk should be restricted to driving only motorcycles or flimsy cars, in order to push the risk towards them and away from the innocent public.
Well, right now, you are 50 times more likely to die if you ride a motorcycle or a moped. In fact, most people think motorcyclists should be organ donors by default, without their consent.
That may be a key difference to China: It appears that Chinese entry-level car brands can get away with compromised safety?
The so called safety features were not mandated 10 years ago, and people have been driving for over a century.
Yes, and the number of fatal crashes has been steadily decreasing.

The cyclists are up there, cause they refuse to wear a helmet, and their eyes are glued to phones.
And these are pretty much the safest roads on the planet.
BTW Germans have tested the "Brilliance" BS4 and BS6, awarding both 0 stars.
Have they tested something higher end like FAW Hongqi series? Brilliance is a low-end brand and those two are low-end model to begin with. There is no point complaining a Prius being less reliable than a Tesla Model X.
Lol why would they, they are not even considered to be sold there. I'm quite sure you think of these cars as the pinnacle of technology, but a European will look at it, and call it hideous. And they dont crash test all cars, for example you will not see a Catherham crash test or a Rolls-Royce. Cause limited money, buyer not interested in crash test result and all that.
And there is a point comparing them. Seriously, dont go into an argument about things that you just assume, and easy to disprove.

So apparently, Teslas are shoddy work, and Toyotas are reliable.
"While the brand’s latest EV, the Model 3, is predicted to deliver average reliability, that’s not the case with the pricier Model S sedan and Model X SUV. The latter has long been ranked poorly for reliability by CR, with owners most perturbed by issues with the vehicle’s falcon doors and its oversized dashboard-display screen. The Model S has been up and down over its lifespan with regard to CR’s ratings. It’s been downgraded to a “below average” rating this year, due in part to suspension problems and other concerns that include the car’s finicky extending door handles."
Wow, they already achieved average reliability.
