Safety standards are mainly a moot issue as long the quality of drivers on the road today continues to be licensed.
No question about the regulatory issue and how that will result in driving the costs lower... Ultimately, that is what I was driving at. The cost for Tata to do business is lower (I'm talking operating costs) and in all likelihood, that is one of the reasons why N.American mfgrs have relocated there.
At some point, those costs will get closer to North America and you'll see fewer companies relocating to India (or China for that matter) and perhaps a number of these companies moving out of India/China as the cost advantage dwindles.
Hmmmmm.. Let's think about that.
A local in India can buy 1.5 Tatas for just the cost of paying the pension component of a union-made GM.
Yeah, I'm not buying that.

Oh, c'mon Petros... Why is it always so difficult to get you to answer anything?
Without fail, anytime you don't want to directly address a pertinent question, you throw out a bevy of deflections and questions in response.
It is extremely boring

I did that a long time ago regarding charities. As a young man I used to think it was good giving to this charity and that charity via the phone until I found out that only a small portion actually gets to the charity and that it was perfectly legal to only give a slight percentage.
Maybe someday Wall Street will be a tourist destination too?
Hey look. It leans to the "right"!
Or how about this?
Police Investigating Possible Sexual Assault Of Teen At Occupy Dallas
DALLAS (CBS 11 NEWS) – CBS 11 News has learned of an investigation into the possible sexual assault of a 14-year-old girl at the Occupy Dallas campsite.
Some members of the group told CBS 11 they never knew the girl was 14 and that she had claimed to be 19 years old.
Police were alerted after someone recognized the girl from a picture seen on a flyer asking for help locating a missing teen.
When police took the girl into custody Sunday afternoon she reportedly told them she had been having sex with a man in his 20’s at the Occupy Dallas encampment and had engaged in sexual activity with several other people.
One Occupy Dallas protestor said if the allegations are true measures should be taken to ensure everyone’s safety.

Shootings way up in two weeks
Bullets are flying over Broadway -- and everywhere else in the city.
The number of people shot surged 154 percent two weeks ago -- to 56 from 22 over the same week last year -- and spiked 28 percent in the last month.
Last week tallied another increase in victims -- 22 people had been hit through Friday, including the three victims gunned down outside a Brooklyn school Friday.
Last year, only 17 shooting victims were logged for the entire week.
The recent gunplay has now pushed the number of shooting victims this year slightly above last year’s tragic tally -- to 1,484 from 1,451 -- through Oct. 16.
Four high-ranking cops point the finger at Occupy Wall Street protesters, saying their rallies pull special crime-fighting units away from the hot zones where they’re needed.
Since Occupy Wall Street took over Zuccotti Park on Sept. 17, the NYPD has relied heavily on its borough task forces, the department’s go-to teams for rowdy crowds.
But such protest duty takes the special units away from their regular jobs -- patrolling public housing and problem spots and staking out nightclubs plagued by violence, supervisors said.
“Normally, the task force is used in high-crime neighborhoods where you have a lot of shootings and robberies,” said one source.
“They are always used when there are spikes in crime as a quick fix. But instead of being sent to Jamaica, Brownsville and the South Bronx, they are in Wall Street.”
Another NYPD boss is troubled by the resulting slowdown in stop-and-frisks.
When OWS marches, as many as 3,000 cops a day could be called on to keep the peace. That’s about 10 percent of the total force.

Occupy San Jose protester scales wall near City Hall, won't come down
An Occupy San Jose protester has taken his protest to a wall in the flag pole area of San Jose City Hall this morning, and police are hoping he'll come down peacefully.
Shaun O'Kelly, 27, climbed on the wall after 3:20 a.m. Monday, when police arrested four other protesters and cited one for camping on city property.
"I'm going to stay up here as long as I can," said O'Kelly, who scaled the wall by standing on a garbage can and grabbing hold onto an overhang. He said he has blankets, garbage bags and food. The wall is about three stories high and five feet wide. "I've got nothing to lose."

Because they watched Honda and Kumi, and adopted Japanese standards.
Why do you keep bringing up robots?
Do you think only robots build cars?
Do you think only the building label GM, or Chrysler, were saved by the bail out?
These rallies need more of that smart guy, and less of the Lotion men.

I'm all for peaceful protest. It is the awesome core of democracy. But these days, most kids who show up to a protest, don't even know what they are protesting.
"Occupy Wall Street" is a case in point: what exactly do they want?; World Peace? Communism? Utopia? What's the goal? The top 5% have lived high off the backs if the other 95% since the dawn of human scum! (;
Give me a good solid mission statement, present your views, and then, and only then, will you be taken seriously.
