I agree that driving is unnatural and overstimulating, and that's definitely part of it. I think another part of it is that it's really easy to see other drivers on the road as "other cars" more than "other people". Driving is dehumanizing, in the sense that it makes it harder for people to see other drivers as fellow humans rather than adversarial machines, and people act accordingly.
