I certainly do not own or want a self-driving car, at least not until they work!

High school physics certainly does help you understand momentum, which is the cause of all crashes.

Majority of drivers don't need to understand physics to drive. It doesn't help.

Instead humans rely on visual intuition, which everyone has with or without learning physics.
