I remember when we attempted
here in California.
The problem was it was done half-*ssed. AKA 'optional' in many places, so folk just switched to someone who opted OUT.
For years, Analog speedometers had both scales. I can't recall if Metric is an option on my car with a Digital only display.
We just need to change Cold Turkey. No Imperial allowed in US Commerce (stores).
