How come? The operations of an automobile can and often are learned by even the most stupid ones of all people. Further, all automobiles from the past several decades mostly work the same way: the controls are quite simple and to some extent even intuitive.

The linked paper isn't looking just at ability to learn to use the tool in the first place, but also at which kinds of errors crop up during normal use. By the standard being looked at, "user collided with other vehicle while changing lanes" would be an error, and if such errors are common, it would suggest a problem with the design.
