Oh, I got an Airbag on my car, get rid of the brakes please. I don't need them anymore.That's the wrong way round. I have brakes and drive safely, so an airbag isn't essential. Which isn't to say I'd get it removed if I had one.Maybe, seat belts are also not essential, but in many countries the usage is mandatory, for a good reason.
Agreed. And airbags may become compulsory too. As long as they're well engineered, of course; having explosives go off during a crash needs to be managed carefully.
But the question is one of priority. Avoiding crashing (good/adequate brakes, tyres, suspension, roads etc etc) should come before saving you if you do (seatbelts, airbags, ambulances etc etc). It's always a good idea to have both types, of course, because preventative measures are unlikely to ever be perfect.
