    Everyone sucks at driving. Humans simply don’t have an innate comprehension of the physics of muti-ton metal boxes moving at high speeds or the physical reactions necessary to operate them safely. Even if we actually did, there are underlying psychological phenomenon that make people bad at driving. Humans are social animals, but when you isolate them in a metal box they stop being able to read social queues and start seeing everything outside the car as just obsticals instead of other drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians.

    There are dozens of reasons driving is extremely bad for everyone involved, and why it feels awful for most people most of the time.
