It’s attitudes like this that me bull-ish about the future of self-driving cars.
Cars can be programmed to never speed, double-park, or roll through stops (I'm aghast that Tesla even tried this). Loads of drivers seem to think this kind of shit is just fine and normal, and desperately need to be taken off the road.
Self-driving car skeptics seem to think that the barrier is "being good at driving." I think the barrier is "being better at driving than most people." That's a low bar.

For every few hundred cars going 65-80 on a 55mph stretch of interstate highway there's maybe a couple going the speed limit. Who is contributing the most danger to the roadway on a per-capita or per vehicle basis? > That's a low bar. You only think that because you mentally bucket people who casually violate the letter of the law when they deem it safe to do so and who's judgement on such matters is roughly in line with everyone else's into the "bad driver" category. The bar is not actually that low.
