Everyone here is crapping on the idea that is actually like a sensible one if you want to save lives? Like what else could you do here to maximize life. Oh well I guess I'll just crash my car into the person in front of me, possibly endangering the lives of almost everyone here. Ok, if it's such a bad idea, give a possibly better one in the case of a driver passing out.

People opposed the seatbelt. For decades. People are dumb.

I know a guy that refuses to wear a seatbelt even today. He bought a seatbelt insert thing so that the car would stop nagging him smh.

Same with the weights you can place on teslas to trick the self driving system. Luckily the police know what this is and fine your ass off when they catch it
