Why Is Flying Safer Than Driving? (freakonomics.com)

We have the technology to make cars follow traffic rules and hold drivers accountable. The same telematics hardware/software in cars can monitor driver performance. Airlines monitor the profile pilots fly to make sure pilots fly the airlines plane exactly how they want it. We demand no personal freedom when pilots operate aircraft but when it comes to cars things like personal freedom trump safety.
