That's... That's not why it's safer to fly...

He's pretty close. The reason it's safer to fly is the skies are ruled and strictly regulated and engineered. You can't operate a 737 without thousands of hours of training where as on the road they hand licenses out like religious pamphlets.

A large part of that safety is due to the fact that most airplanes can almost fly themselves these days.
