Far better an option than having unelected foreign politicians force you to do something that can be extremely expensive to your business.
But now you have to tailor the car to met several different regulations instead of one. It'd be like car manufacturers having to meet 50 different safety regulations in order for their car to be sold in all 50 states in the US.

People in Rhode Island would probably be forced to ride on horse and buggy.
