I don't think the poster was speaking in the context of pedestrian safety?

Also, typically pedestrians aren't anywhere near highways and other high-speed roadways. So not really a concern in this context.

cars are safer now than they've ever been for both drivers and pedestrians

Cars don't need to be going high speeds to be dangerous to pedestrians. Roads near pedestrians can be designed poorly allowing drivers to go significantly faster than the intended limits.
