Sure it may initially sound kinda pointless since I was complaining about the weight of safety features but, instead of making the interior trims just fancy, some degree of functionality could be added to them. As a matter of priorities I'd rather have ABS brakes instead of airbags and 3-point seatbelts.

Take a look at some accident pictures. i dare to say that a car that has airbags, also has abs. The abs has not prevented the airbags from inflating. Ergo, abs is not enough.
you're not alone on the road.
