I dug through a number of auto accident statistics a while back. If certain conditions are met, cars can be very safe. Those are - Daytime hours, prefrable 7am - 5pm Good weather Not Drunk Not a teenager about 3-5 years driving experience. With these criteria, automotive travel is slightly safer than average US commericial airline flights. Changing any of the above criteria raises the risk considerably. Of course, some of those flights occur in bad weather. We can add to that few pedestrians, and preferable a limited access highway. The social and economic utility of private cars can very high.
