Car safety

[audia8driver]

Hello,

I am not sure I am not alone on this one, but..

One of the main reasons why I bought the A8 was due to fact that it is Aluminium built and so it's pretty safe, compared to other similar steel cars.

However it is an 11 year old car, so are new cars a lot safer nowadays?

Also, why do people not ask or care about the safety record/features of their cars, when buying them?

Finally, one car I really admire is a Tesla S , again safety is good here.
