Force by law is a no no but the market will demand what they feelis needed, and air bags are on of those things, dodge took the reigns on that one and now its hard to even find a decent used car without one.

I don't care if other people wear their seat belts or not, just as long as they die and take their brodozers with them.
Still curious why there isn't a "diesel hybrid" I am guessing it has to do with the heat necessary to keep diesels efficient (I think it could be remedied by a heater pack applied to the block or the oil pan, that's powered by the car's 12v while the car is in hybrid mode... then kicks over to ICE when the engine temps drop too low) or because of the emissions? Who really knows, we'll see what this new market brings.
