  1. A lot of cars are just bigger than they were 15 years ago, comparing within the same segment of any type of vehicle.

  2. Cars have way more airbags built in now compared to any time in the past

  3. Most cars have way more electronics now, again compared to any time in the past. Cameras, blind spot sensors, tire pressure monitors, general “infotainment” systems
