That’s … what car would that possibly be? Everything has ABS, TC, air bags, crumple zones, the list goes on.

You might find things like blind spot warning and lane departure warning only on higher trim levels, but those are kind of “extra”. I’ve actually found that I prefer the wide angle mirror sections to blind spot warning, too.

Those safety features have been mandatory since like the 90s. There are more modern safety features that have been proven to reduce accidents. Automatic emergency breaking, radar cruise control, rear cross-traffic and pedestrian alert and breaking, lane centering, etc.

Many of the entry-level Japanese brands (Toyota, Honda) include these as standard on all models. For some reason, luxury brands and some American brands lock these behind higher trims.
