Kei cars don't have the crash safety required for US roads, speeds and the traffic they need to share the roads with. A crash between a Kei and a US truck at 55 mph would be a bloodbath.

Keis work in Japan because the average speed is much lower and you're more likely to get into an accident with another kei.

I see a lot of people making the argument of “a bigger car is safer when crashing with other cars”, but that’s not very sustainable when everybody thinks the same. A US truck is small when everyone is driving a monster truck to protect themselves from “normal” trucks
