Edit: Thanks everyone. I’ve heard your comments loud and clear. I will not wear headphones while driving.

my point is noise cancelation mitigates mostly monotone noise, it has hard time with anything you would need to pay attention to in a car

and i would argue "carefully listnening" to the racket going on in your car damages your hearing and you hear less longterm than using ear protection
