Which I am, because pretty much everything leads to death eventually. I’m not a super being that can calculate the number of deaths directly resulting from an airplane flying in a given day.
When the traffic density for planes is the same as the traffic density of cars within say 100 miles of airports, then I’ll take that statistic seriously.
What an odd thing to say… “If conditions would be completely different the statistics would be different, therefore I don’t trust the statistics”. What’s your point exactly?
The difference here is that pilots are rigorously trained and go through constant continuing trainings and recertifications, while someone who wants a driver’s license effectively needs to prove they have a pulse and can read at a second grade reading level (at least here in the US). If we actually cared about road safety, we’d raise the bar for a driver’s license.

I mean, it is though.
Because of all the redundancy.
Therefore the safest
Only if you exclude all the people who died or will die because of climate change

If the circumstances were similar, not just different.
The fact that’s still true should tell you just how dangerous driving is.
