I could see videos being effective. When I was younger I watched a lot of those "near miss" / "driving fails" youtube compilations, and I think they gave me a better intuition for how things tend to go wrong on the road. It would be interesting to see a drivers ed program that included material like that.

On the other hand, when I watch a dash-cam video, I'm already have an understanding of how drivers think, how pedestrians behave, how weather conditions affect driving, etc. I could watch a video and tell you "the driver ran the stop-sign because it was hidden behind the tree branch, and hit the other car because the road was wet and they couldn't brake effectively". I don't know if I could learn to recognize those subtleties from watching video alone, which is what it seems like we're trying to achieve with ML.
