Maybe the actual tech could give us these kind of tools without increasing prices; the financial side here is often unclear.

As example, new safety devices on cars could have dramatically raised their prices but, for what I can see, now we have better cars, no more expensive than once.

That happens. I suppose, just because the old car tech now is outlaw quite everywhere, like some other things seen as dangerous for our health; sort of imposed advancement, free of charges for the final customer.
More expensive cars? Last time I checked, a BMW 7 series still costs what it costs back in the late 80's. Cars my friend are getting much cheaper made in my book and trim - is a joke! It is even OK now to show the seam on a leather seat. Things like that. Best cars I think were early to mid 90's. Cars went downlhill from there and tried to compensate by adding electronic gadgets.
