Anyone who has been a pedestrian is also well acquainted with this. Cars watch for and expect other cars, not people (bikes, mopeds, etc). The amount of times I’ve almost been hit by someone who is staring intently at oncoming traffic and flooring it without looking anywhere else is too damn high.

That's also true. It's less of a problem in pedestrian-heavy walkable cities and towns. But in the average American city or town covered in stroads where car is king, it's a big problem.
