If all those are available NOW, why on earth would anyone think we will get less of these features implemented in the future? They are afterall based on technology advancements.
I would call all of those things AI rather than a safety feature. They are what makes up the self driving car. When I was saying less safety features I was referring to physical interventions into the cars design. Airbags, role cages, head lights, seat belts, crumple zones.

The cost of cars will drop as the required materials is reduced. Therefore cost of ownership will drop and therefore ownership will be more incentivized than now.
