Some stats on Wikipedia may fuel this discussion [1] and conclude than planes are safer by km and by time, not by journey though this is an anecdotical thing (not relevant to compare 10 min trip to work to 8 hour flight).

Besides this is based on old data and as others have pointed out flying has become even safer in the last years.

Modern cars have also become much safer. Which has become safer faster, and thus in which way has the ratio changed? (Real question, I don't know the answer but would be interested in the updated numbers)
