They’re really quite clearly incomparable things. For example, over a two hour drive yesterday, I saw three vehicles with blown out tires and two vehicles stopped on the shoulder and witnessed a nearly serious rear-end accident that was only barely evaded by swerving onto the shoulder, not even to mention the hazardous driving while swerving in and out of lanes, tailgating and close passing, etc. The point is that it’s simply not comparable because the consequences of air travel are far more significant, not to mention that there are dozens of people doing constant QA and maintenance on regular schedules that do all they can to prevent those major risks from manifesting themselves. For context; ~42,500 die in vehicle accidents every year in the US. ~380 die in all aviation accidents, which also is largely private planes, which basically combines the worst of both. Miles traveled are utterly irrelevant in this regard, when around almost 3 people die every single day in every CONUS state.
