When the Porsche 959 came out, it was likely the most technologically advanced performance road car available (well, not likely... certainly).
The performance numbers and vehicle stats were fantastic, and the look was arguably good for that time. But there was one common complaint: it was boring. The car was so well engineered that it could be a very manageable daily driver, or it could go set lap records with an average driver. In other words, there was little risk, and equally little reward.
Now you have Teslas with straight line performance that even stupid Dodge "muscle" cars can't match, at least for speeds even remotely within some legal limit. Since most drivers are ill equipped to drive a slow car well, it's quite scary to imagine them driving cars with the current performance characteristics.
So yeah, give them more go fast tech and watch what happens! Unless we develop some new stop-faster tech that greatly improves on the current situation, there will just be more accidents.
