that's nonsense,
nobody ever gets really good at anything without training and a lot of practice.

You might have noticed I'm not being entirely serious here.
but, for the purposes of following through with it

training and practice for car control, yes, I agree. If you need training and practice to spot other road users, or rapidly process the number of possible scenarios involving these other users, and take appropriate action, then driving isn't something you should be doing. i.e., if you need to consciously think at all, even for a millisecond, to be able to drive safely, then you shouldn't be doing it. It doesn't need to be taught.

I don't know how you do teach that sort of thing, to be honest,
but it's like a sort of habitual thought. Practice can get you into the habit, and then it becomes second nature.

It's what the hazard perception test is supposed to be there for.
