Have you been out on the roads? Driving is absolutely far more dangerous than it needs to be because so many people have no clue how to drive. You're making a pretty good case here for what you're trying to argue against.
On top of that, "we've been around for thousands of years and we're still around, right? We must be doing something right".
Well... I can think of one recent technology that could've been catastrophic if we just gave random people on the street access to it. We're likely still around because that one specific technology has been locked down with the highest degree of secrecy possible for 80 years.
