In Xiaohongshu I saw a couple posts about self-driving busses, and very few people seemed concerned about the safety of these. No idea what the record says on their safety though.
In theory, flight should be less complicated to automate simply because there are fewer things in the sky and fewer still that are as unpredictable as things on the ground. The issue with flying is that mistakes are much deadlier and more spectacular.
