Toyota discloses improper crash tests at Daihatsu subsidiary

Let's have more deregulation, say the proponents of small government and unleashing capitalism. I cannot imagine what kind of rubbish manufacturers would produce if they were free to do what they liked, when they seek to subvert even existing rules.

From the recall scandals it was obvious Toyota had a huge problem with the culture inside of the company making it desirable to hide and falsify in order to pass tests and make deadlines. It seemed a lot of effort was done to correct this, but things like this may make the public doubt the quality again.

How to become biggest car manufacturer?

Put all your efforts in producing some trash at lowest cost without any quality claim to third world countries.

It's good thing BOJ buys lots of their ETF shares because it seems they're not listening to the market, people want EVs. Millions of EVs have been pre-ordered, people willing to wait. Nobody wants ICE engines, as they have no future and hybrids not sufficient, expensive to maintain, etc.

Fuel Cell also pipe dream, battery tech. just keeps getting better and better, due to incredible global investment. Fuel Cell equals too risky and expensive with no existing infrastructure etc.
