> the safety of the individual feels compromised

Exactly. I have had zero accidents in 20 years; I'm not interested in a car that will lower the overall accident rate if it increases mine.

Even the most perfect defensive driving won't fully mitigate the unsafe driving of others though. I'd rather have them to be in autonomous vehicles.

Sure, but nobody thinks they are the bad drivers.

Who is "them" and who allocates the groups?

We can't even get any kind of car control skill testing or training to be part of a driver license issuance.
