When I learned to drive, the training car (a 1990 sunfire) had no right hand mirror, no power or anti-lock brakes, and no power steering. Today I can still drive my 1966 dodge dart without worry, since I know how the car will behave and what it is capable (and not capable) of. Besides, it's thick steel detroit frame would pulverize anyone dumb enough to crash into me. Shouldn't we just change driver's training? A C-class license should mean you can drive any car - not just one packed with safety features.
