I don’t know how we could say humans are “good” or “bad” drivers. What are we comparing against? We’re the only thing that drives cars (other than a few self driving cars).

Compared against any other activity or mode of transportation.
If someone had said said “trains are safer than cars” I’d agree with that comparison, but the question is are humans good at driving cars. I don’t know if we’re particularly better at driving cars than trains, trains are just better designs.

I mean, you wouldn’t say humans are good at tic-tac-toe, and bad at chess, right? Chess is just a much harder game.
