"50% reduction" sounds impressive, but it starts to lose meaning when cars are already so safe. These are pretty low numbers, out of a million. My annual survival chances go from 99.993% to 99.997%, which is great on a population scale but essentially meaningless on a personal one. For age groups 25-64, car accidents aren't even the most deadly type of accidental injury: accidental poisoning has twice the fatality rate [1]. If this were a software system and I proposed buying a newer car, my manager would be annoyed at me for micro-optimizing the wrong thing.
