This is funny because its from an article that uses the same picture why they are tereible... https://www.motorbiscuit.com/automatic-seat-belt-terrible-idea/
By even the late 90s? Yeah, they were a REALLY REALLY REALLY stupid idea.
But understand that in the 70s and 80s it was still very socially acceptable to refuse to wear a seatbelt with many outright claiming it was more dangerous because you would be trapped in a burning car instead of thrown clear. Yes, boomers were always dumbfucks.
But, by those standards? Something is better than nothing and a system that forces people to at least be partially restrained was a good idea. It was eventually replaced with education (LOTS of tv shows had Very Special Episodes about why you wear your fucking seatbelt) and the nag chime (... that people now bypass by buying metal clips to insert into the buckle).
I remember those dumbfucks as a kid in the 00s.
