    In the early days of airbags they just replaced the center cap/horn button on "deep dish" steering wheels¹ with an air bag--people were getting their thumbs and fingers blown off when the bags deployed.

    The solution? Flat face steering wheels, just like the older cars had...

    ¹ - "Deep dish" steering wheels were a trendy rage at the time, as opposed to the "flat" steering wheels older cars had.
