The person who will be occupying the vehicle gets to make those decisions. Unless you're buying your own 737, you don't get to make that choice.

Where to begin? 1) That doesn't make it acceptable 2) My car doesn't fit 200 people 3) I can smash a window and jump out of my car if it is on fire.

I also find that extremely strange, but maybe I'm in the minority. I think Toyota has safety features standard in all trims.

Regardless, the safety requirements in planes are much more stringent than in road vehicles.
