Explaining why this doesn't work is a great ML interview question.

As someone not involved in ML, why doesn't it work?
reducing error on the training set doesn’t always generalize to an unseen test set
Yup, I didn't learn much from my image analysis class but the professor made sure that over fitting and under fitting concepts were firmly lodged in our heads.
I don't want to subject my drivers to dangerous conditions to train my cars to handle them
Well, there are companies out there (like drive.ai IIRC) training such models end-to-end, so it is not entirely out of the question.
