MODERATORS
Does the German automotive industry also exercise immense power and influence in both politics and society?
That's a solid "Yes, definitely!"
Germany is unbelievably car-centric for a developed country. It's also nicely planned, so most of the time you can survive pretty well without a car, but car is still the king here
Germany has more cars per capita than the US and Germany is the only country without a speedlimit on motorways. So yes, they definitely do
Not true. Numbers from 2020: USA 919 Germany 628

Looks like you're right, I heard this fact in a YouTube video or something and didn't check against. I'm sorry, I don't want to spread misinformation.
When the idea of a general speed limit was proposed, people were literally screeching "but muh freedom!!!"
No, but the pensioneers themselves do having nearly an absolute majority in elections.
