Yeah sometimes it’s easy to critique the air industry. But imagine if these same safety reviews were applied to the car industry. So many lives could be saved but we have become numb to car accidents.
The airline industry gets such a weird amount of public attention across the board ranging from passenger safety to massive investigations if a plane goes down. It's not necessarily a bad thing but you certainly do not hear federal regulation stopping people from driving a model of car (recalls yes, but nothing akin to grounding) if there's one unexplained crash.
AFAIK that was never proven to be a software problem.
You could envisage technical solutions for some classes of these errors, but they would usually require huge changes to infrastructure or only work for new cars. And full self-driving is still ways off.
Most people think they are good drivers which makes them immune to actually getting better through training. As for process, good luck implementing it if you can’t train it.
I view the overwhelming majority of driver errors as faulty system design. Instead of red lights use turnabouts like in Europe.
I just came from a small town in France where they put these staggered obstacles on one side of the road which forced both directions of traffic to be merged into one lane. So they forced people to drive into incoming traffic thereby causing cars to drive slower. A really low cost solution to slowing car speeds in the busy pedestrian area and making the roads safer for pedestrians.
