Most people who talk about the dangers of cycling commutes do not / have not ridden themselves. Is it dangerous? It sure can be. Can you take actions to better survive your ride? You sure can. Visibility. Most near death experiences are with autos with a driver who were unaware that they just missed decking you out onto the pavement. Daytime rear facing high intensity blinking red lights help. Bright clothing will help. Wearing some type of glasses so you can hook up a rear facing mirror will help. Knowing that when you are in the far right lane a car will accelerate and pass you on the left so that s/he can cut you off and turn right in front of you into a driveway so that you have to emergency brake (unless you anticipate this) will happen. Oncoming cars will turn left in front of you like you don't exist.
