Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Wyoming requirement violates the Commerce Clause of the Constitution, as it would create an undue burden on interstate commerce by requiring all cars entering the state to meet a certain standard, regardless of whether they are registered in Wyoming or not. This would create a patchwork of different state laws and standards, which would make it difficult or costly for car manufacturers to comply with, and would likely result in higher costs for consumers as well.
