My description of the CA test would be "somewhat less of a joke than the rest of the country" rather than "pretty stringent". I did my US car test in MA which was an utter joke, NYC is somewhere inbetween.
I'm aware there are many socio-economic reasons for the way things are in the US with respect to cars (lived in Boston for 8 years). I think there are many ways it could be improved, particularly in areas with enough density to support more and better public transit than they have but that and the attitudes that surround it in the US are another rant entirely.
