Go look at some pictures of car crashes where seatbelts were and weren't worn, then get back to me.
They absolutely are about safety. There are extremely rare cases where a seatbelt has been detrimental to safety (the George Lucas crash is an oft-cited example), but these are in the vast, vast minority.
Motorcycles are completely different, and are only a threat overwhelmingly to the rider rather than those around them. In an accident a motorcycle rider is generally thrown some distance from the crash site, and protected by their helmet.
You may as well have said: Life boats on cruise ships aren't about safety... they're about revenue. Evidence: Jetboats.
My concern, though, is that anything you have said needed to be said at all.
Any driver that does not have the same policy as you described simply should not be on the road. And it scares the crap out of me that there might be drivers out there like that.
I find such situations extremely uncomfortable to the point where I think I might pass out.
But avoiding them is unthinkable.
You're supposed to be anxious in those situations, snowflake.
Let someone off for citing "anxiety" and anyone can get away with it. In fact some clever bullshitters can do this now to get time off work, special treatment in exams, assignments, etc.
It seems a lot of celebs spend a lot of energy chasing reviews and accolades, which becomes a driver of their self image, before eventually arriving at the crushing realization that fame and fortune aren't all they're cracked up to be, and ultimately don't fill the emptiness they experience every day.
It doesn't apply to me, but those poor people who can't jump ship for whatever reason are under Microsoft's thumb.
Every laptop I've successfully[*] migrated to Linux has performed significantly better than under Windows. The general rule is, the lower the specs, the wider the difference.
Some clowns, for example, are still trying to peddle Windows 10 netbooks on 32GB SSDs. Now while Windows 10 can be cut down to *only* about 16 GB, but wait a couple of months of updates and it will be nearly 20.
[*] There were some trashy models that had undocumented chipsets or needed windows-only drivers. Thankfully these are by far the exception.

Bullshit. Perhaps you're thinking of the widely advertised problems with the 30kWh batteries, which turned out to be an easily-fixed firmware problem.
Or perhaps you live in Arizona, where batteries tend to cook.
You may not know this, but the all-time best-selling EV on the planet, the Nissan Leaf, does not use cobalt in its lithium-ion batteries.
What the hell are you talking about?

Kudos for a descriptive and concise post.

That's a whole lot of eyes and ears for Microsoft now.
I found glyphosate was the only active ingredient that worked on my weeds, so went with that.
Not Roundup though. I'm never directly giving Monsanto a cent of my money.
It's hard to watch the end of that video without thinking, "now what?".
Nissan went bankrupt?
All of it or none of it?
FTFY
Yes, then I'm sure everything will be unicorns and rainbows.
Silly question perhaps, but couldn't you just put them up on eBay?
he should have taken it private earlier.
Well, you still paid for and own a 75kwh battery, but with the vendor only having unlocked 60kwh of it.
If you can get 75kwh out of your 75kwh battery, more power to you.
Pun intended.
Huh.
So, effectively nothing then.
Do you live in America?
Over the air?
You know, I get the feeling some powers-that-be want a generation raised like this.
Much easier to invade a nation of pussies.

Good, you've identified the problem.
Now, please outline exactly what you intend to do about it.
I'll wait.
Libtards? Libtards?!
This has nothing to do with liberal vs conservative, left vs right, vim vs emacs.
This is much more simple. Either you like The Internet, or you hate it.
I guess I know which side you're on.
So to drive your car you just need:
1. Your smart phone (with enough battery to last your trip) and
2. Connectivity to the internet.
Nope, can't see any problem there.
No, it needs to illustrated again and again. Every dodgy deal he makes needs to be thoroughly documented and publicized.
Until he is gone.
I assume this is done so that Dubai can know which parts to tow away first.
Pretty much this.

I'm sure little Johnny will appreciate that when grampa takes him to the ball game.
