    Replace seat belts with piano wire and make air bags with 50x the explosive charge but replace the airbag with ball bearings.

        Funny thing about the Pinto…most US cars were made with that gas tank design and the Pinto had about the same number of fires from rear collision.

          Yup pinto accounted for almost 2% of cars on the road and just about 2% of fatalities due to fire. Plus it has a way smaller death rate per car due to fire than the cyber truck. Sold over 3 million cars and there were 27 fire deaths. I think the cyber truck fire deaths are in the 5-10 range for roughly 20 thousand sold.

        Exactly! Except I make Lemmy shitposts for shits and giggles and am not an “economics professor” who needs to be taken seriously and never gets invited to parties.
