What do you mean “somehow”? You make it sound like people don’t weight benefits and risks. If you do not live in a large city, the benefits are so immense in terms of mobility, they outweigh the risks for most, very clearly. That’s why in large cities, much less people own a driving license for example, the benefits are just not there anymore.

Granted, on the downsides, people look at cost more than risks.

I think they weigh the benefits and risks but then completely discard the risks, because humans are bad at evaluating risks.

More than a million people die each year on the road but for some reason terrorism and cancer dominate the risk assessment of people.

I bet any money that almost all people aren’t really afraid of entering a death box every day to drive to work.

How could they be; a lifetime of brainwashing doesnt let them asses the risk realistically

In cities the benefits don’t necessarily outweigh the risks yet cities are designed entirely around cars in many places to their detriment.
