To add another factor:

People buy muscle cars and over accelerate because they can't handle the power of those cars

EVs accelerate much quicker than normal cars, Tesla's more than normal EVs

So if someone isn't using the automation they're still susceptible to the classic "overshot into or over something" situation

They also think because the car accelerates quickly it will also stop as quickly. Same as idiots that drive too fast in the snow.
