    A car nudging you towards an accident is dangerous, even if it’s not forcing you into an accident.

    An unnecessary distraction that needs active attention in a chaotic situation is a bad thing, bad driver or not. And yeah, there are many bad drivers out there. Cars should be designed to be driven by bad drivers, not armchair experts.

      Why not just have expert bus drivers and as few cars as possible by having proper driving tests. (looking at the US)

        Yeah, but that’s a whole 'nother topic.

        I live in a country with proper driving tests, but most drivers (myself included) are still shit at driving. Even professional bus drivers are limited humans.

          I agree, but still fewer drivers should be an improvement for safety and climate and one day maybe most roads could be replaced by train tracks with bike lanes on either side.
