Yes, I am familiar and have driven the autobahn on multiple occasions, and occasionally at speeds exceeding what we discuss here.

It is irrelevant what the road is, or how fast people prefer to drive. It's not a race track, other drivers are not race drivers, the road is not maintained to race track standards, and cars and drivers are not equipped with race safety equipment. Your driving must be able to safely handle a car or truck going 80 swerving in front of you with no prior warning just as you pass it, and at 210 that's equivalent to crashing into a stationary object at 130 km/h (i.e., everyone and their cat dies).

Most people disagree with you, or the Autobahn would have speed limits. Despite the lack of limits, the Autobahn accounts for about 31% of all traffic in Germany, but only 11% of traffic deaths. It is clearly very safe compared to other roads with speed limits, and you are not basing your fear on the facts, but on your feelings.
