Seat Belts are not masks. And the cars are crushable aluminum as opposed to steel of another era. The costs of safety devices on cars is over 5000 dollars added to the price to purchase one. The costs of taxes is about 20% from the ground up on a vehicle. The costs of pensions and benefits is over 3000 dollars on GM cars. So we add more safety like rear cameras and newer technologies like lane changing alarms and even voice warnings if we get to close to another vehicle jacking up the costs. We are morons.
Not all of us. Those devices are designed for people that don't know how to drive, or are elderly and cannot safely drive any longer. And trust me, there are plenty of them out there.
