We don't. Over here driving school is several months of training by licensed drivers in cars with dual control so the teacher has full control over the car in case of an emergency. the idea that your Uncle Bob teaches you how to drive would probably be considered insane. The traffic related death rate here is also like 4x lower than in the US. This kind of stuff isn't normal.
Having computers that make video games from the 90s look bug free drive two tons of steel around at lethal velocities is bonkers. Public roads should not be playgrounds for 'beta tests'.

Most don't learn that way however, because the test is difficult enough that a good driving instructor is pretty much mandatory. The pass rate was 46.4% in 2019/20.
