>Federal bureaucrats intend to mandate automated braking in all new cars – if the car companies don’t install these systems in every car they sell on their own initiative.
>These systems – which use radar proximity sensors to detect the presence of an object in the car’s path and apply the brakes automatically if the driver doesn’t – are already in about a third of 2016 model year cars, but not yet force-fed to the public by government edict.

Because they don't have the money or time to compete.
same thing happened with the Jap Zero.
took em like 5 years to make a world class plane.
took America 1 year to kick their asses.

Tesla Model S: highest safety rating of any car in history.

Nobody's observant enough to notice that.
At best, they'll think you put it in park.

I took my reverse lights outta my automatic car so I can reverse at traffic lights and it looks like manual rollback for the street credits.

Oh, and it's not as pigfat as your example(782kg? WHAT THE FUCK?!), and it doesn't need a huge as fuck cooling system, because it's not a marine motor.
The Mercury only makes 1650 on 112 octane race gas by the way. It also costs 68 grand, whereas a decent twinturbo big block by Nelson is about 50 grand, and...
