No and kinda? It still happens all the time, and it still gets news coverage, but it's not as widespread news coverage as before, tends to be more in the local/regional news than widely shared (inter-)nationally. I did a quick search and many stories from the last few years.
I mean decades ago I dove through a road expansion zone and saw a car stuck in the concrete because they decided to drive around the barriers like a jackass - and that's a phenomena that I think most people have heard of if not seen personally. The point being that stupid people aren't a new thing, it's just expanding in scope because some of them are outsourcing what little thought they previously used to buggy machines.
