WHY DOES CHINA HAVE GPS on their windshield corners and USA drivers are STILL using phone or dashboard GPS mapping?
Do we have to be clumsy and backwards in everything or is this just one of our hobbies?

Since the likelihood of truck driver fatigue (obesity?), loss of control and combustible cargos causing fires BELOW interstate bridges increases with time
WHY AREN'T THEY OUTFITTED WITH FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEMS above and alongside underpasses ON MAJOR ARTERIES as these are of strategic national importance??
As of late in my retirement years I have taken on the habit of viewing long, usually boring videos on YouTube TV of someone driving forever on seemingly endless, very modern interstate highways IN CHINA!
One thing that's decidedly different about these aside from the green & white route signs written totally in Chinese characters is how incredibly neat & clean they are wall to wall. Also there aren't guardrails that look war torn, chipped, scraped and tire marked like in most U. S. cities. Which must be due to much stricter law enforcement, endless rows of video cameras on cross arms but mainly due to one other thing! Since learning to read Chinese quickly at high speeds must be started early in life this implies that the vast majority of China's drivers are natives to that country and culture and so are likely more experienced, competent drivers.
Unlike here in America where inexperienced drivers from around the world hit our roads with a mix of panic and abandon around the clock.
So maybe in another hat tip to the PRC America should institute new highway signage and pavement markings written entirely in cursive (or formal English script) which would then be forcefully reinstituted mandatory teaching from primary school up to high school coast to coast!
This way only people born and raised in the United States and England would be able to read interstate highway signage and so would be more careful, law abiding motorists having fewer accidents as they rush to menial jobs at wee hours with only a week's experience behind the wheel of a speeding motor vehicle after just having arrived from a refugee ship!
