Seat belts didn't begin to become standard until 1958. And they were commonly unused until the 1990s.

Great, they still get caught in the door and get in the way, even without seat belts.

Why did cars kill the cloak and not carriages?

My guess: Carriages were less common, and many designs of horse-drawn vehicle were open or semi-open.
