How on earth do planes not crash into each other when taxiing in/out of gates?

I find it amazing that planes don’t crash into each other when taxiing in/out of gates. How do they do that? It’s not like the pilots have a backview mirror/window through which they can look behind the plane.

Airports are designed to have space between the planes so they don’t crash, air traffic control has a person who is responsible for directing traffic on the ground so a plane doesn’t start to taxi to a gate before the plane that’s there already leaves, and there are people on the ground with hella dope rave sticks who are indicating to the tow vehicle and aircrew what to do (i.e., stop immediately if there’s a risk of collision).
