Yeah, I mean, I'm a full-time cyclist, so you won't find a lot of car love from me. :-)

But I do think there's a difference in risk. Aviation has a pretty dang good record, and I think that the tradition of transparency in comms and telemetry is a huge part of that.

While this is true about commercial airliners it is not true for general aviation. The safety of general aviation is roughly comparable to motorbikes.

Both general aviation and motorbikes have a track record (at least in relative terms) that's pretty good _with respect to injuring or killing third parties_, which I thought was the thrust of the inquiry.
