How much do you think it cost automakers to add seat-belts to their cars? Probably not that much, when compared with the overall cost of the car. This made it seem incredible to some of the public, for a time, that car manufacturers would be fighting legislation to force them to add seat-belts in bad faith.
But, there was, and always is, a lager issue at hand. To the auto industry seat belts represented public responsibility for the overall safety of their product.

It's all about regulation. Because companies solely care about money and nothing else, they need to be forced to do the right thing.
Recently the CBC show Marketplace looked at how auto makers in the UK put in proper anti theft security features that aren't present in the same models in Canada, due to a lack of any standard to do so in Canada.
