US Gov't (and to a lesser degree the CDN gov't) basically use FMVSS as a defacto trade barrier. (or if you want an outright trader barrier -- the chicken tax.)
So in the end, there are 3 car specs developed:
FMVSS (USA/CAN)
ROW LHD
ROW RHD
If North America were to sign on to this standardization, then we could have nice things ... Diesel-Electric Volvo's, Ford RS's, small diesel pickups, etc
