> be part of a statistics that you can control

well, even if you are in control with your hands on the wheel, you can still get heart (and even die) in a car accident where you have no responsibility at all. Sure you can control your car, but you cannot control others'...

Also people vastly overestimate their driving competence.

That is certainly not the norm. People does not "vastly" overestimate their driving competence..

Discussions of driving among lay people are generally useless and interminable, due largely to the supercharged Dunning-Kruger effect that driving for whatever reason produces. No matter where you are or who's talking, the speaker is always a good, careful driver, other drivers are reckless morons, and the city in which they all live has the worst drivers in the country.

Everyone everywhere says the same thing. It's information-free discourse.

I am Sorry. Not having control of a lot of stuff that happen in the world does not mean that you don't have some influence on if you will be in an accident or not, if you are driving the car yourself?

With half baked self driving tech, you have absolutely no control..
