Not quite true. Cars are safer. What would have once been a fatality in many cases is now a serious injury or less.
If people die in safe cars then they most certainly would have died in an older car.
Years of human existence has proven we are not capable of major behavioural change. Therefore safety technology in cars is absolutely necessary.

You haven't read the fine print on ANCAP or any testing organisation obviously. The ratings only apply to the same class of vehicle. If you have a crash with a larger vehicle the laws of physics still apply. You can't change physics.
