Let's say we all magically become able to not crash into each other at all. That's not going to make things much safer; car aren't built with the strict QC of airplanes, they're bound to have more failures.

When you have wheels, it's not all that problematic, with some luck you could even be unscathed after losing a wheel on the highway.

Once you're flying though? Anything happens and you're pretty much toast
