> Driving makes people feel like they are in control

It doesn't just make them "feel like they are in control", the driver is in control of manouvering the car.

I guess you're arguing for the fact that not 100% of crashes are avoidable by the driver? Yes, that's true. But a very large percentage is very much avoidable by the driver and the choices they make.

In contrast to a plane crash where the passengers literally have nothing at all they can do to avoid death.
