Why do countries vote on tech?

Countries often vote on new technologies, especially those with safety implications, to decide if they meet national or regional standards. France's upcoming vote on Tesla's software highlights how individual nations contribute to broader European Union decisions. This ensures that new tech aligns with legal frameworks and public safety expectations across the bloc.
