> Human drivers can feel safe around other cars because of mutually assured destruction. That's patently false. If that is true, nobody will walk around in Manhattan (several feet from speeding taxis), nobody will ride a motorcycle in highway, and the sight of an oncoming 18-wheeler in a rural two-lane road will send every sedan driver to the gutter. Human drivers feel safe around other cars, even though driving is one of the most dangerous activity practiced by most people, because they've been doing it so long that they're desensitized to the danger.
