They kept decapping kids because there wasn't a way to disable, so if you forgot about it, and your kid was just bopping around in the front seat, like we did in those days, welp my '92 240sx had em and i loved them though. they went away b/c airbags showed up

yeah definitely. the problem is that people forgot, and there weren't seat weight sensors in place back then, so you didn't get a loud rear end HEY IS THERE A CHILD IN THIS SEAT? IM NOT MOVING TILL YOU UNHOOK THE SHOULDER BELT reminder

Jonny 290 posted:they went away b/c airbags showed up iirc the specific thing was that the NHTSA mandated "passive safety systems," i.e. some way of keeping vehicle passengers safe that didn't require them to do anything as cruel and unusual as buckling a seatbelt, but didn't specify what that was. some manufacturers started going with airbags, while others snorted another half key of coke and said "what if seatbelts went on by themselves??" then later the NHTSA was like "no, this is really stupid, from now on it's just airbags" so the auto belts went away

i know a few people irl who refuse to wear seatbelts as a point of pride, which somehow seems even dumber than the people who wont wear motorcycle helmets. the reason why is unknown, it's like the mysteries of some roman cult. i wont be surprised by their eventual greasy deaths.

i loving love my helmet, it looks awesome and gives me a bit of confidence boost knowing that if i gently caress up, i have at least invested in a proper well-fitting snell certified full face helmet to keep the most debilitating and life-impacting of injuries somewhat at bay. atgatt rules b/c you look like a cyber dude and wont get degloved or schiavo'd in a 28mph wreck. i get especially upset at the Fat Dudes on Harleys that wear nothing, those big 280 lb motherfuckers oh man i dont wanna see what their corpulent frames do in an accident. like, why, dude. you're not getting laid on that thing either way

I also design my wardrobe around not feeding any microphonics or static electricity into my spliced headphone cables, since I had to modify a set myself with the augment loving up the shape of my skull. Ain't no loving way I ain't hearing what's happening with my notifications. I'm always gonna be ventilator dependent, but I want the rad Molly Millions lenses more than a boring integrated ventilator.

Sagebrush posted:Realistically these days you probably could get away with a yoke style steering wheel since we have electric power steering, which means you don't have to put any effort into turning the wheel and you could change the mapping according to your speed so you can still make a full lock turn with only 90 degrees of rotation while keeping fine control at high speeds BMW has actually done this with their Active Steering for about a decade now and its pretty much this.
