Much less a serious accident where important safety features make a difference is one of those things you won't generally hear the reverse being said since, you know, you'd be dead.
Don't tell them that, otherwise us people who only buy SH cars will have nothing to purchase in 5 or 10 years.
Gambler's Fallacy. Prior incidence has no effect on future occurrence.
A lot of the new safety features are for low-speed collision protection, automatically sounding horn and applying breaks when your car gets close to another, say in traffic. Unless you go top-range you generally won't get actual driving automation. Other than that it's just convenience; Climate control instead of air con, reversing sensors and camera instead of (as well as) mirrors and turning your head around etc.
We’re not gambling, we’re driving cars. And the fact that the current F1 champion has won some races means that he is more likely to win the next one than I am. And the fact that I have a lower-than-average rate of driving collisions means that I have a lower-than-average chance of having a collision in the future. If you doubt me, ask an insurance actuary.
However, since it's the same driver for each of the "trials" then the Gambler's fallacy doesn't really apply.
It's kind of hard to drive them at the same time, though.
I have never been in an accident.
I drive a pickup I paid sub $1000 for. Been driving it for three years no issues. That $10k could buy me ten trucks.
Would I take it on a trip? No, I rent a car for less than a car payment.
In my opinion buying new vehicles is a foolish waste of money I could be spending on something else.
