I’m going to stick my neck out here and jump straight to a conclusion. Age 29 says it all. Who are those people weaving in and out of traffic all the time (not counting Door Dash drivers)? Young men. At 29 I would expect crazy driving. Also at 29 we are not looking at an Einstein or an Oppenheimer or even a Heisenberg level of nuclear scientist. I doubt he was on the verge of demonstrating cold fusion or anything like that. If he had any knowledge it would not have been his original knowledge. That doesn’t come until much later in life.

I’ll toss another tidbit in. A year or so ago someone did a study of how people of different ages react to the self-driving features of their cars. Older drivers don’t trust them much and keep their hands on the wheel and feet ready to brake. But younger drivers tend to ‘trust’ the software and will go as far read a book while the car speeds down the highway.

My ‘18 Honda CRV has adaptive cruise control and lane keeping. It practically drives itself especially on interstates. Makes a long road trip much less taxing, but being a geezer I don’t trust it one bit.
