This sounds bad, but even current society is like this. You can always use more money to be more safe. Car regulations don't change this but they do make cars less affordable.

- witty_username 10y agoYou can buy more safety systems, like ABS. You could buy a car with a larger crumple zone. You can drive more slowly, which would cost you time which is ultimately money.
- talmand 10y agoDepends, there are a level of technologies on cars based around accidents that require more money to obtain. Small, cheap car that meets bare minimum safety regulations versus big, expensive car that goes beyond required safety regulations. I bet the survivability rate of a Tesla is much higher than my Altima in the same near-fatal accident.
