Safer than what's already there is a valid point, but it's also (somewhat unfortunately) not one a lot of legal systems tend to go by. For example, it's likely that if alcohol or tobacco was invented in this decade, it would have been banned as a 'dangerous' drug. But safer alternatives aren't exactly legalised because they're safer than what's already out there.

There are a lot of drugs that are basically morphine with basically all it's downsides, that have been approved. ex: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydromorphone https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydromorphone Trying to get a drug like that approved on it's own would have been vastly harder. As to cars the major upside is they are all one on one collisions. And insurance companies are really good at handling that already. There are even laws limiting how much pedestrians for example can sue for if they are struck in some areas.
