Why and how cars have lasted so long as a primary mode of transportation for normal people, anywhere that this applies. Every time I go to drive a car I'm terrified that I'm going to make a driving mistake and get myself or someone else killed. I live somewhere with a good public transport system so I rarely have to drive, but I've done it often enough I know it's something I cannot comprehend the average person just getting used to.

I think you have to live in an area where it's difficult/near impossible to get to places without a car to hyperfocus on learning to drive and attain a car. A lot of US cities/suburbs and rural towns literally have streets where walking is not allowed or not made for walking/bikes. The small town my parents live in is considered upper middle class, yet the nearest grocery store and gas station are about a mile away with no public transport nor any easy walking paths to get to them. Even trying to get to a bus stop, there are park-n-ride stations next to one of the exits off the interstate highway. It'll be a hell of a walk for most people, you more or less need a car to take the bus.
As a teen, the only way to not rely on your parents or other people to give you rides was to get a driver's license and have a car. So many of us teens in the 2000s were willing to drive old beatup cars because that was better than having no car.

Once you get used to relying on it, it's easy to forget how dangerous a car is and that one is operating a super heavy, super fast machine.

Because I live in a rural area and grew up in one, too. It’s 20 miles to town where all the stores are, especially the grocery stores. There is NO public transportation in the county, so it’s drive or starve. I started driving tractors when I was heavy enough to get the clutch down, and started driving the farm truck at 8. I had a farm license at 12 to drive our trucks on the highway. I dread when I’m too old to drive, because it’s going to make life hard.
I’m very glad you live somewhere with good transportation, but I don’t.
