Hope we apply the same metric to human drivers as well and don't allow anyone on the roads till they prove they are attentive 100% of the time and can maneuver like F1 drivers at all times. Monitored cameras every 100 feet would be a good start to find who's driving badly, and also a required driver face camera that records to a blackbox like device that cops can get the video from, and which the driver has no control over.

10% of the crashes resulted in more than minor injuries, so 3.3K serious crashes.
Your profile says you’re in the Netherlands, which is a completely different place.
You may know this already but here in the US, even though driving is technically a “privilege”, in reality it is a requirement in most locales due to lack of consistent and reliable alternatives. That’s part of why getting a drivers license is fairly easy.
It’s also why your “I’ll have my son shred my license after I turn 70” wouldn’t work unless you were living in a place like NYC or Chicago, or were totally okay with having little social life (dependent on your kids’ and friends’ ability and willingness to drive you to places).
Collectively you decide what kind of country you want to create and individually you have the choice to move. FWIW I spent years on the Canadian/USA border and have driven there quite a bit.
