How much of this is due to safety features to reduce pedestrian injury in accidents? Devil's advocate, but crash fatality rates have been on a downward trend for decades. Some safety features like automatic emergency braking, abs, stability control, and modern (more powerful) headlights protect pedestrians as well as drivers Somewhat recently, many cars have been specifically designed to reduce injury when colliding with pedestrians, and these models have become more common in the 2014-2018 window. I wouldn't completely discount the research, but the majority of the reduction could be that newer cars are simply safer for everyone
