thought you were serious for a second, for those who aren’t getting the joke, driving your car is thousands of times more dangerous than taking a plane flight
But all those articles about Boeing issues will get more people to drive. It’s ironic how fighting for higher flying safety standards can kill people. The surplus in car crash fatalities in the months after 9/11 was higher than the number of passengers on all the planes involved.
We need more trains in North America. From my experience between planes, trains, and automobiles (and boats) trains have been the best experience.
They’d also be the easiest to make self-driving.
Don’t want to deal with things like lane changes, identifying traffic signals, erratic drivers, etc? Just focus on self driving trains instead. They go back and forth on a set path, on a set schedule, and can automatically watch for things like people/animals/debris on the tracks, electronically receive stop/go signals, etc…
All the focus is on self-driving cars, when it really should be on trains.
I’m one of those people that likes to get a window seat and occasionally check out the views and marvel at what is really going on at that moment.
But the flying experience sucks. If there was an option to chill in a comfy train to replace short and medium flights, I would be right there with you.
It really is insane how many people’s perception of safety is so completely opposite to reality.
Idk man I see this statistic all the time but you might survive a car crash but if you fall from a metal tube in the sky you are most likely dead as fuck. I think crashes happen lessoften but when you do crash in a plane theres usually zero survivors
It’s not even close. Passenger cars crash so much more frequently than planes (and other forms of transportation) that the rates of death are much higher.

You are the reason casinos make money.
I came back to find this comment. How do you feel about flying now? Make sure it’s not a Boeing amirite?
I am an airframe and powerplant certified mechanic, I worked on 737NGs for years as well as a320/1/neo, etc.
I know more about aviation than you, I know more about plane crashes than you.
Hey if all that is true then yes you 100 percent do know more than I do about it that’s no question lol just poking at it again because of the news with Boeing killing that guy and the tons of problems they’ve found them to have and they’re still up there zipping around like nothing is happening.
