The whole ruling class is extremely bad at risk management. If something doesn't pan out, they need but extend their hand and immediately get a fat handout.
My understanding is that Chinese EVs aren't technically banned in the US. Rather, they have (and have long had) extremely steep tariffs, making them non-competitive.
They probably still need to complete things like crash testing and emissions certification. These become a requirement after imports hit a certain number.
My guess is that Google hasn't imported enough of them to reach that threshold yet.

In order for a law to be effective, it must be enforced. It's simply just not being enforced, for Google.

That seems risky on their part. There could be a new administration in a couple years who might decide to start enforcing that.

Lots of money would be my guess.
