Forcing her to learn to drive would certainly end up with disaster. She also lacks proper 3D and spacial imagination which may make traffic even more scary for her.
Maybe she knows something the rest of the world is still struggling with: driving is dangerous. Ask the 40,000 who were killed last year.
