No, almost certainly not. For example, if you are in stop-and-go traffic on a highway, and as long as the visibility is good and the road has good traction, you could drive for literally hundreds of years straight before reaching 1 mean expected death from the driving. If you fall asleep in those conditions and are driving a modern car, the car is likely to be damaged but you probably won't die. I don't have numbers for free soloing, but if you pass out, you will die with a high confidence.
