You missed the point. Mechanically and electrically, there is no question that vehicles are safer.
What is UNSAFE are the electronic computer controls that emerged out of fuel and emission mandates.
When you look at the TOTAL system and break it down into system components, you should notice that most components are evolved over many, many decades EXCEPT for the computer controls imposed by EPA mandates.
So focus on this aspect of safety and go back and scan through the thread I linked to. You should then get the point.
And please stay on topic and focus on the subject matter.
Electronic Engine Control is YUGELY better than carburetors and mechanical ignition systems.
Safer too. (be careful about pulling out in front of a fast moving semi with a just started carburetor equipped automobile...)
