ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers

Imagine if you and your friends wanted to play a game, but there were some bigger kids who had different ideas about how the game should be played. So, you and your friends decide to team up and work together to make sure the game is played the way you want it to be played.

That's kind of like what the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers does. It's a group of car companies who work together to make sure their interests are represented when it comes to laws and regulations around cars.

Just like you and your friends might have different ideas about how a game should be played, different car companies might have different ideas about how cars should be made and how they should be regulated. By working together as an alliance, they have more power and influence to make sure their opinions are heard and considered.

The alliance also helps the car companies share information and work together on things like improving car safety and making cars more efficient. They can do things like share research and collaborate on projects that benefit all of them.

So, just like you and your friends might team up to make sure you get to play the game the way you want to, car companies team up in the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers to make sure they have a say in how cars are made and regulated.
