Huh, this kind of made me think of a new perspective on why people are reluctant to swap out of their cars. And its because car accidents "feel" personal

For instance, if I were to get in an accident with an old woman, I'm more likely to be angry at the old woman for crashing into me, rather then get angry at the system that allowed to her drive. Resulting in me simply discriminating who should be driving, instead of thinking of finding an alternative solution for how to move them around.
