If you want an interesting read, check out the battle over seatbelt interlock devices. Optional seatbelts (with perhaps fines for non-use depending on the jurisdiction) was the compromise between none at all and cars not functioning without them being in use.

That was a really interesting read, thank you

I guess we have Elizabeth Dole to thank in part for near ubiquitous air bags and seatbelts.

I hate to think how many would die every year without them.

These days? Few.

In the 1990s, more.

Except in the highest speed crashes frontal airbags are mostly redundant for belted in passengers (the first S in SRS is there for a reason), especially in this age of seatbelt pre-tensioners.

Side curtain airbags are far more helpful these days.
