As it had been said earlier, people would rather take their own car or rent a car when going on a trip. In most cases, this leaves them with more money spent, and a greater risk of being part of an accident. In comparison, those that choose to travel by plane are much more relaxed and can enjoy being driven by a professional pilot that is experienced in avoiding dangerous situations. In contrast, almost anyone that has a driver's license can drive a car, regardless of their experience. From that, one can understand that it is much safer to be a plane passenger than it is to be a car passenger.
There are far more chances of a car crashing into another than there are of a plane crashing into another. While the air traffic is constantly controlled by experts, the land traffic is rarely controlled by policemen.
When planning to take a trip with their cars, most people are not paying attention to the condition that their cars are in. Before traveling by car, people need to perform a careful check on their cars and ensure that all the tires are properly inflated and that there is no criminal hiding on the backseat. Also, some would rather take a shortcut on an unlit country road than going safely on the highway, hoping that they would reach their destination faster.
All things considered, in spite of the fact that traveling by car is the most dangerous method of travelling, it is also beneficial. People cannot simply abandon car traveling and turn their attention to other means of travelling.

There might be a tendency for social interactions to center around traveling between locations in a convoy, much like groups of motorcycle riders do today.
