      Yes, the German economy still heavily relies on the car industry.
      And it’s not just leverage, they literally employ “consultants” (lobbyists) who draft bills which are then introduced into the legislative process and voted on by members of parlament who have neither the time nor the technical know-how to understand them. German car makers effectively write their own regulations.

      It’s a bit of a meme because german politics is so heavily lobbied by our car industry.
