Another possibility, figure out a completely new design (like not from the steering wheel).I would bet Takata airbags have saved a thousand times as many lives... The last fatality...
Sadly the agency also announces the eighth U.S. fatality likely caused by a rupture of a Takata air bag inflator, and the ninth worldwide. Although yet to be confirmed by the manufacturer, the incident involved a model year 2001 vehicle that spent most of it service life in the high absolute humidity (HAH) region and had been under recall for many years. The fatality was the result of a driver air bag rupture, as has been the case for all known fatalities.
In Takata's defense, they tried to prioritize air bag replacements to only High humidity areas which are the only places the issues occur but the U.S. government required them to do full recalls. These full recalls would have happened after they replaced the truly dangerous ones but instead, they've had to spread out limited resources to cover cars that weren't dangerous... Thus, unnecessary deaths. Sure, it would have been nice to have the foresight to know what may or may not become dangerous seven years down the road but who can do that? What happens when air bag companies decide it isn't worth the litigation to keep producing them? Do prices skyrocket?
Who knew phase stabilized ammonium nitrate would become explosive in high humidity anyway? Scientists and engineers are still trying to figure it out. Are we seeing the death of the used car industry or the birth of periodic air bag replacement shops?
I doubt you would ever see the death of the Use Car Market; they make more per car than they do on the new ones.
