But the safety features that would prevent a collision (lane control, adaptive cruise control, blind spot monitoring) are still not prevalent in mainstream vehicles though.

Seems that most cars' safety packages are built around mitigating a crash - better bumpers, more airbags.

They are quite widespread in cars that are comparably priced with Teslas.

Not sure about the US but here in Australia at least these features are available in some very low end cars.

And quite widespread in most cars sold today.

To be fair, these features don't appear to be doing a very good job of preventing collisions for Tesla vehicles either.
