But humans are still a bunch of idiots.
True enough. But the real difference is that in Germany it is illegal to pass on the right, and the law is followed. When a faster vehicle is approaching, cars will move out of the way, to the right, so that the other car can pass. In the US, you have idiots driving slowly in the left lanes, as if it were their God-given right, effectively blocking passing lanes, and forcing others to pass on the right. Obviously, (at least to some of us), this creates a number of problems. Perhaps if we changed "don't pass on the right" from a suggestion to a law, our roads might function as well as the autobahn.
