Airbags are just one of those “feel good” Democrat inventions for political points.
Good seat belts are good enough, lots safer, and cheaper.
Don’t want to use them? Then you are just another organ donor like motorcyclists that don’t wear helmets.
World needs lots of organ donors.

Not true. Seat belts were the first great leap forward in automotive safety. But airbags were the 2nd great leap forward, and automatic emergency braking is now the 3rd great leap forward in cutting fatalities. Other technologies (pretensioners, crumple zones, lane-keeping cameras, anti-lock brakes, etc.) have all played their role as well, but those are the big three. (I was an automotive quality engineer focused on safety technologies for 25 years in my first career.)
