Kudos to the authors for linking to the NHTSA source materials. The executive summary and the initial sections are way less click-baity than the article, and yet more interesting. Figure 6 and the table above seems to indicate that the fatality gap has significantly shrunk over time due to air bags and seatbealts. And the data on xvii seems to say that "Curtain+torso" airbags might almost eliminate the gap (but the error bars are huge).
