I make the opposite prediction and figure DEQ testing will be a thing of the past in 15 years. Air quality has improved so much over the years, and EVs/hybrids are likely to be so commonplace in the future that DEQ testing will no longer be needed.

Oregon doesn't even have a statewide DEQ requirement, and I suspect it never will.
