It's an excellent conspiracy theory that you have there, Jim. The record
shows that US car makers ignored seat belts, pollution controls, air
bags, crash zones, anti-lock brakes, and many other such innovations
until they were either legislated screaming and kicking into it or were
losing massive market share to offshore car makers who did innovate.
Based on this track record, yes, one can easily imagine they may be
ignoring it publicly.
