I agree! But the car you're driving today is infinitely safer than those old muscle cars because of the threat of litigation and the bad publicity's effect on sales. The for-profit news media only report about accidents when someone marches into to court, especially when the deceased is a movie star. When it's Joe Shmoe or Plain Jane killed on their way to work because the spring in the ignition was the equivalent of a cheap ball point pen, the media pays it no mind and people keep buying the still unsafe cars. But when someone sues, and the incompetent gubbimint wakes from their slumber it opens a giant can of worms of outright criminal behavior.
