General advances in technology... An increased number of airbags, advanced computer systems that can brake for you (see Mercedes), blind spot detectors (Volvo), On-Star (GM), run-flat tires (BMW), rear-view cameras, crumpling zones, automatic hazard lights/doors unlocking/engine shut-off (VW); it really varies from maker to maker as they try to out-do each other using proprietary technologies.

Was it safer in the 1950's or 2000's?

In some respects we have things that make it safer than the 1950's. A cell phone is one thing that makes it safer. Instead of having to look for a phone booth we carry the phone with us.
