That's it - yes. None of this is binding and none of it is fixed. One can look at it as a long term negotiation process. It will be hashed out over the next few decades as world leaders and leaders in the private sector argue with each other and amongst themselves.
With so much uncertainty involved, its certainly going to be a tough road for the industry. There will be casualties, no doubt. I'm not ready to write BMW off as one of them yet. However, they would appear to be in a bit more precarious a place than others. That's a big part of what makes it so fun to watch.
