I mean, sure, but the objective truth is that we SHOULD fear and distrust human beings driving cars faster than about 10mph.

We're not good at it. It doesn't really fit our reaction times, it doesn't really fit our attention spans, and it keeps trading places with gun violence for the #1 acute condition (i.e excluding heart disease) that kills people.

The article could certainly have done a better job of pointing this out, but the unfortunate truth is that people still believe the exact opposite of the facts and insist that they should be allowed to drive fast and not be hassled over traffic laws.
