Seatbelts are legally mandated. When that was going through, some people argued against that requirement on the grounds that there edge cases where it dies more harm than good.

Just like the case here, those edge cases are vanishingly rare.

Note: my car won’t move without a seatbelt, but it’s an EV so furthers the argument that EVs are taking control from the driver.

Fair point then about the arguement around safety. For me the bigger issue is control. Cars with kill switches and conditions to use is a slippery slope. Just look at what’s happened with software and media. Don’t want to have to pirate my car or load custom firmware so I can use it as I want.
