>If companies were allowed to sell cars without safety features for a lower price people would buy them.

On the other hand it costs money to develop these systems. The people developing them deserve to get paid. The government needs to decide at what points it becomes mandatory to have these systems.

If companies can't charge for new safety features, the result will be every company getting out of the safety feature (non-)business.

If the newest safety features make cars unaffordable for most, people will complain also.
