The fact that driving involves social behavior is exactly the reason why 35.000 people die each DAY in traffic. If a driver is not able to pay attention or makes a mistake, consequences can be fatal.

We need to get rid of the social aspect of driving, and make it a pure, reliable system that doesn't depend on the mood or the alertness of billions of humans to not kill someone.

That might only be done if you make it separate from people who are walking or cycling. So maybe a lifted monorail with cars? :) As long as people are on the street, it is a social situation with social behaviour.
