The author of the article has not said those words. They were said by Karl Iagnemma who is a scientist from MIT, and the CEO of a company that makes software for self-driving cars.
It didn't sound like something a reasonable person would say so I tried to track down the context of the quote, and it seems to be a mystery. My guess is that the quote came out of a larger interview, and it obviously meant to highlight the fact that 'standing out' by following rules in a way that other drivers are not expecting you to, makes things much more worse. That makes sense to me, as opposed to your interpretation.
