    I’d assume that also cars having higher performance (power? What’s even the correct expression here?), as in quicker accelerations even after a full stop plays a role. Someone walking over a red light for pedestrians probably wouldn’t get hit fatally by most 2000s cars, but by a more modern car. EVs also have absurd accelerations.
