What would help is to make them commodity items in all cars. For example, seat belts initially were just lap belts but within a very short period of time, they became lap and shoulder belts. Then warning is not fastened and today, augmented with air bags. These advances happen fastest if we get them in our vehicles now instead of pricing them so only the wealthy can afford them.

Also called a real, public transportation system ... <BIG GRINS>
