I would think newer sats will have collision avoidance capabilities and older ones will just crash. Maybe even clean up sats will be developed to collection them

With currently deployed tech, most of the smaller orbital debris is not (usefully) track-able.

At orbital velocities, you gotta know it's coming to be able to avoid it.

And a orbital velocities, the untrack-able stuff can still kill a satellite.
