Cars are closer to general aviation than commercial though, and GA planes crash all the damn time because of pilots doing stupid things or not maintaining their equipment.
An airliner would be closer to maybe a coach bus where the driver does go through additional training and scrutiny and the equipment is maintained by a specialized crew. Coach buses have a much lower fatality rate than passenger cars.
Or rather if cars were subject to FAA-like regulation, most automotive car travel would be bus travel. And a few rich idiots could take their own lives in their hands in their personal Cessnas Civics.
