The post I commented on is a single anecdote where no one was even remotely hurt.

And that line was just a comment on a juxtaposition I found funny. Don't take it too seriously.

I can show you one of a billion anecdotes of terrible drivers.

I just replied to another comment to the same effect; I'm aware of terrible drivers being an issue. My concern is less whether it increases the road safety and more whether it helps societal safety.

I meant to the provider, not the end user.

Yeah, I don't think that should ever be an endorsement criterion for anything at all. Any savings that don't also save money for the user are just straight up greed, funelling money into the providers' pockets (and if we're honest, mostly their executives and shareholders, not their workers).
