Speed restrictions.

Kei trucks were designed for use in dense Japanese cities, which is why they also work in European cities. They are nimble but have a low top speed. You're not going 70 mph around a street corner for instance.

It would work in places like NYC for the same reasons, but remember that most of the USA is suburban or rural. You need vehicles that are capable of going fast if you're going to get on a highway.

A possible workaround is to have a separate class for these, like mopeds or scooters, which are road legal but are not highway legal.

What's the likelihood that this was an Israeli assassination?

Meanwhile in a ”free” country:

Edit: apparently people are confused by whataboutism and hypocrisy.

Reminds me of the old banana argument for intelligent design. It fits well in your hand, and is nicely curved for ease of consumption.

There are 2 genocides actively occurring (or at least in the forefront).

Western media does not shy away from calling one a genocide (as they should), but refuses to call the other one a genocide.

There's a reason the US is targeting China from various fronts (trade restrictions, sanctions, etc.). China is a powerhouse and the US is terrified of being left behind.

Ever? Or in recent times?

There were hundreds of years of peace before the US was even conceived.

Reminder that the US invaded Iraq 20 years ago on false pretenses. That whole region is unstable because of US meddling.
