Absolutely crazy to me that the UK and EU were so behind on this compared to the US. I guess the US’s traditionally good (who knows what’s happening now) disability lobby was more powerful than its “screw anyone not in a car” lobby.
The law in the US was passed in 2010, though implementation of the rule took a few years. I think Tesla were the only ones who didn’t make any noise until they were absolutely required to, probably for obvious reasons.
The EU was trailing by 4 years. With the regulation being signed into power in 2014. However, in the US from what I read, full binding, in detail, implementation also took until 2020, from what I understand the transition period in the EU was 5 years so it should have been obligatory from 2019 onwards.
