The thing to consider when pondering control issues in cars and aircraft:

If you are off by 10 feet in the X, Y or Z axis in an airplane, 99% of the time you're still cool.
In a car, if you are out of position by 10 feet, 99% of the time you are in DEEP trouble...

Another thing: Who would ever trust a dim with a pilot's license? They are more worried about a bumper sticker than an oil change. Go to any college town and the quality of driving is an inverse ratio to the number of stickers cluttering up the paint. They sneer at redneck mechanical types who know what's under the lid thingie on the front end of the car, but can't change a tire.

All true but it’s pretty rare that one is moving at 30mph when things go wrong in the air. Also, it can be tough to pull over and decide what to do when flying
