General aviation stats might not be entirely applicable to commercial aviation, of course. The planes are less redundant, less well maintained, and flown by less experienced crew - it's hard to tell which of those factors will tend to dominate, or whether they cancel out.

Commercial airliners tend to fly themselves to a large extent.

Most of the aircraft used in general aviation are about as good at flying themselves as a motorcycle.
