So should companies not try to innovate or invent things until the German government tells them it's ok?
The point is that innovation should always come with regulations. This is not the wild west over here. We like to be alive and companies usually don't care about that but only care about profits. So it's a good idea that they can't just do whatever they want. If they invent something actually new I'm quite happy that a third party will have a look at it before it's mounted to a vehicle that kills me. I know that in the us this is handled the other way around but I guess the statistics for car accidents agrees with me.
If Mercedes only cared about profits why would they be putting this light on their cars?
