Is there a cultural opposition?
In my 30 years of life, I’ve never read an article, seen a TV show, watched a movie, read a book, heard a conversation, etc where the idea about wearing helmets in cars was even discussed.
I’ve never even heard a comedian joke about it.
Who is opposing this? Are you saying there’s opposition just because it’s a thing that doesn’t exist?

So that does open the question about whether suppression of this lifesaving technology has been something intentional on the part of automotive companies and enthusiasts (see: "jaywalking") or if it's the other way, that making road safety issues about only cycling helmets is an attempt to de-legitimize that mode and blame victims.
