In my opinion there should be separate ratings for the crash test part and the crash mitigation system.

Which is a good thing. As the subject of test evolves, so should the method of testing it.

Considering the Panda got no stars I was surprised about how well it seemed to cope with the main 40% overlap test. It looks in good shape afterwards. I am remembering the old Rover 100 which virtually folded up on impact and I can't remember that might have even got 1 star....

If the car looks relatively good after a collision, then perhaps the crumple zones didn't absorb much
of the energy and the occupants had to endure more G-forces. The third page of the pdf file seems to confirm this: https://www.euroncap.com/en/results/fiat/panda/34191 Compare the results of the Panda with the XC90: https://www.euroncap.com/en/results/volvo/xc90/20976 The bodies of the occupants are much "greener".

Just stumbled upon these crash tests:
Things to ponder: - How did they get away with this? Would you take part - maybe in a new Volvo? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWy0hHHECdM |

Fuel duty is a massive income for governments which will hit the economy very badly as electric takes over so other taxes will have to increase heavily. We will all have to pay more for using our cars or for not using them.
