The car dealers lobby group is a huge part of this. Note, I said car dealers, not car manufacturers.

They pay off the politicians and the politicians use the people's money for these lawsuits. They are the reason why public transportation is horrendous in LA. The people suffer twice.

They were also the ones trying to stop Tesla from selling directly from the Tesla website for obvious reasons.
