Luckily modern cars are generally a lot safer to drive than your old magna. Air bags (not new, just better), crumble zones, automatic emergency braking, lane assist/departure warning etc. have come a really long way in the past 30 years. They're not only less likely to be in major crashes, they're also safer for both people in the car and outside the car (bikes/pedestrians) if it happens.
