Sir,
With all due respect, while I tried to find a hole in GH's argument, and tried very hard, I couldn't and conceded the point. It was not my intention to undermine his clarity of thought by obfuscating the issue with another argument- I meant it as a genuine question, because his view interested me. However, I do agree that my question could be interepreted as a dig, and I wish I had worded it better.

Lawsuits and consumer demand for safety have driven all automakers to start including side air bags, etc. The government does not need to legislate their use.

I agree that this is certainly the case currently, but I think that originally consumers were comparatively unaware of the risks involved in driving. As such, it was the government's saftey laws that created a concern, and therefore demand, for saftey features in cars.
Thank you, and if I sound sarcastic anywhere in this post, it's not intentional,
