While I agree with the point you made, I want to point out that the fatality rate for driving an automobile is much lower than 1 in a 1000. In the United States, the number of fatalities per vehicle-mile driven is approximately 1.5e-8[1]. On your average errand run, you have about a one in a hundred million chance of being killed/killing someone.
