Where did these numbers come from? I’m really surprised that driving (0.07 fatalities per 100k miles) is not significantly more dangerous than commercial flying

Where did these numbers come from? I’m really surprised that driving (0.07 fatalities per 100k miles) is not significantly more dangerous than commercial flying (0.05 fatalities per 100k miles).
I always thought driving was much more dangerous than commercial flying, but apparently only slightly.
- lotsofpulp 4y agoI assume because vehicle collisions have much more morbidity risk, that is not captured in fatality statistics.
- LeifCarrotson 4y agoSorry, I didn't link the driving data, but it's here: https://www.bts.gov/content/motor-vehicle-safety-data https://www.bts.gov/content/motor-vehicle-safety-data And the numbers were for fatalities per 100k hours, not miles, because the flight data is recorded in hours.
