For car drivers probably too, because today there is an "arms race" dynamic playing:
while self.car < other.car:
feel(unsafe)
new_car = buy(car if car >= other.car)
self.car = new_car
feel(safe)
smash(pedestrian)
smash(cyclist)
smash(other.car)
Meanwhile everyone owning other.car is doing the same, so we are caught in a infinite loop and everyone ends worse and worse. A de-escalation is necessary.
