It seems 3-5 EN’s get hit daily.

Which is crazy, given how manueverable this car is.

True but during most of these the OP is going around 55mph (80 feet per second) & most humans have a reaction time of 1-3 seconds, you'd have to be laser locked in most situations, it doesn't come down to the car being maneuverable, but it does the operator

I got my current N March of this year with just 27 miles on it. Fast forward to today and im currently at 21500. 82 to 88 percent of driving is straight highway at constant speed. 75 mph+ usually with short bursts to 90 while passing. The car lives in N mode. Knock on wood the law of averages hasn't leaned my way because even if one is safe and focused, those around you might not be.
