That's true. But in normal flight the time & space envelope in which an autopilot operates is relatively much larger than that of a vehicle on a busy road. I'd imagine that even an automatic-landing system has much less scope for sudden and unpredictable collision events. It might be an interesting exercise in control-systems theory. But I suppose this discussion has just about run its course!
