List of cars with automatic seat belts[edit]

I don't see what use this list serves. It is inherently going to be out of date very quickly, and it answers a piece of incredibly minor trivia. [ roux ] [x] 07:02, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. While the automatic seat belt may be a notable technology, this does seem a completely trivial and unmaintainable thing to list articles by. Someguy1221 (talk) 07:47, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Wholly trivial, not worth maintaining even if it were maintainable! JBsupreme (talk) 09:43, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Trivial list which in time would grow to be unmaintainable. If someone can figure out what the first car was to use the technology, that could be in the main article. - Mgm|^(talk) 11:43, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. We want to know just which cars have used automatic seatbelts between 1975 and 1996. --Ryanasaurus0077 (talk) 14:43, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment: BTW, the first car with an automatic seat belt was the 1975 Volkswagen Rabbit. --Ryanasaurus0077 (talk) 14:44, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment Actually this list could serve an important purpose: auto insurance. Many insurers give a discount for cars that have a "passive restraint" or automatic seat belt. I agree though that the list is incomplete and unmaintainable. Squidfryerchef (talk) 19:32, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Could you imagine if people, or worse yet, insurance companies, were relying on this list (or any other Wikipedia article) for insurance purposes..? Shudder. JBsupreme (talk) 19:40, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Yes, yes I could. 71.61.220.126 (talk) 02:01, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Another comment: What if we put the years automatic seat belts were used for the car by the name of the car that used them? --Ryanasaurus0077 (talk) 02:26, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
