What you say is true but coarse statistics doesn't reflect actual situation. You would have to compare 737 MAX deaths per mile to OP car deaths per mile. Maybe taking into account that hopefully OP doesn't speed, drink, text, watch harry potter... Don't know if deaths includes pedestrian or bikes killed by cars, could be irrelevant if you only compare your odds to be alive after journey. I'd also expect a recent car with good safety to have a lower rate than average and maybe 737 MAX higher than average?

Apologies, I thought OP was just talking about flying in general rather than specifically the 737 max but I have re-read and it's clear. I think I just forgot as I was writing the response!

I agree this could be debated, but I don't think it's too useful to say "The journey was safer because rather than kill the person travelling it only killed a random pedestrian".
