China, electric handles, virtual switches and cloches end up in the bin

Resurrecting solutions that seemed destined to be scrapped for good, China is imposing the return of physical switches in the furnishings, mechanical handles that can be operated even in the event of a blackout, and the cloche-operated stop sign that takes the place of classic steering wheels. But that's not all, because again in the name of safety, Beijing plans to tighten approval tests for the most advanced levels of semi-assisted driving and limit acceleration times. In short, China is introducing rules that although for its own market will also affect models marketed in other parts of the world, regardless of whether they are electric or not, mass market or luxury and supercars.
