The difference is that cars have a function other than killing people

Exactly. So these calls to ban vehicles are just nonsense. We should just enforce the rules to curb reckless driving. You know, like the rest of the world does.

Have you been to the rest of the world? Most places the streets are basically a complete free-for-all. Rich/poor/civilized does not matter one bit.

My point (and response to OP's comment) was that people use many things that increase how deadly they are, and they should have higher standards of accountability for using them. I don't think you get a pass for operating a car unsafely just because it's purpose isn't to kill people.
