Learning "how to drive like everyone is trying to smash into you" has worked for me.
Basically you always keep enough distance between you and the car in front of you to be able to avoid rear ending them, keep an eye on what's behind you, and resist the urge to road rage. For example, when someone cuts you off you put distance between you, "You're still moving forward".
I was offered that advice by a California Hwy Patrolmen when I was just 16 years old shortly after I got my driver's license. It's worked for me. I'm 65 now and I've never been in an accident or crashed a car, and I've never gotten a ticket. So it's really worked pretty well for me.
I'm personally not ready to want a car that drives for me, but I would like others to have one that would put on the brakes when they get too close behind me.

I can't speak for your country, but in mine it's the law to ensure a safe distance is between you and the car in front of you.
