You have to define "shitty" in this context. I agree that there are a lot of bad drivers out there. But even with those bad drivers, people driving while texting/intoxicated, and with older vehicles that don't have all the latest safety and assistive driving features, the fatality rate in the US is still something like 1 per 100 million miles. There are a lot of auto-related deaths in the US but there are a lot of miles driven.
Given modern safety standards in vehicles, I don't think fatalities are a good measure of how good humans are at driving.
It's news when a self-driving car runs a red light, but pretty normal for humans.
That may be so, but they're not often confused by bikes painted on the back of a van either.
I think this is only partially true. When I saw the image I was actually confused by why the outlines were wrong. In real life though I wouldn't be presented with a single image, but rather high res video.
