What about the people who can't afford a car because of these features?

  What about the people who can’t afford cars due to the expensive catalytic converters? Are those bad too?

    I understand your point, the features are useful and they do save lives. It's just... where do you draw the line? You can't practically prioritize life infinitely above every other concern. If you did, the solution would be to not drive at all. Like, maybe we can defray the costs of safety in a different way, such that cars, which are unfortunately a need for a lot of Americans, aren't outpacing inflation so badly. Such as increase licensing restrictions and make drivers' tests more comprehensive. Or lowering speed limits and enforcing them more strictly. These solutions do not have the effect of adding $10k to the cost of cars, which harms poorer Americans much more than wealthier Americans.
