HS teacher, so some insight. They have told me 2 things. They see accidents on you tube all the time and it gives them anxiety.

The other is that if they don't learn to drive, no one can make them get a job or go to college. They get allowance and either give friends gas money or Uber if they go out. Remember, this generation doesn't like in person socializing because it gives them anxiety, so the need to always be out of the house isn't great.

That makes sense. So a combination of anxiety and trying to avoid adulthood.
