Not having control of a vehicle in a life or death situation is terrifying to me.

Are you terrified of riding on trains or flying in planes? You don't have control of the vehicle in those cases either and those are both considered far FAR safer than you driving a car.

Not having control of the plane in a life or death situation is terrifying. Train not so much.

Driving a car can’t be compared to those two. So much more traffic and people/objects in the way. Only comparable to something like a bus in a designated bus lane.
