That database already exists and many new cars have it anyway. My mid range Honda from 2018 has it, for example. Clearly, Honda and Acura wouldn’t need to develop such a thing, and I’m guessing neither would virtually any other manufacturer.
Money isn’t the problem. If you ask people “should we increase the average cost of a car by $10 so that 15k fewer people die every year” most people will (correctly) answer yes. The issue is that it won’t save that many people, and it doesn’t do anything to solve the actual issue.

It’s pretty astonishing that people here are naive enough to think that at any organization with the level of bureaucracy of the average car company this would cost $0. This isn’t your weekend side project where you change a few lines of code and push it to GitHub and it’s done. The meetings to begin to consider the change would probably cost a million dollars.
