That video is from 2009. I'd argue that mechanical safety innovation has slowed quite a bit in the last eight years. The real question is whether the recent electronic safety features: backup cameras, lane departure, blind spot warnings are worth the new car premium.

Not sure what you mean by "mechanical safety" but in addition to advances in energy dissipating crash structures, the use of advanced and high strength steels has risen dramatically in the past couple years.
