? why bother saving 8,000 lives? In what world is it better to NOT have airbags?

  If the cost of installing airbags could instead be used to install some other safety feature, say aeb in all vehicles, and if that feature saved more lives than airbags do, then it would be better to not have airbags.

  While 8k is a substantial value, other technologies might be more effective, less costly and possible safer. Remember the takata airbag defect killed 15 people in the US. https://www.consumerreports.org/car-recalls-defects/takata-airbag-recall-everything-you-need-to-know/ https://www.consumerreports.org/car-recalls-defects/takata-a...

    8000 vs 15, and that's not a problem with airbags, it's a problem with defective industrial components and corporate nonsense.
