Ashton posits: "One can do a lot to minimize the effects of the random droids in nearby cars."
Attention, he rightly points out, is paramount. And that is the case when "driving" at 2 or 3,000 feet AGL. But up there we can also ask for "flight following" even when flying VFR and that can help ... some ... if ATC is not too busy ;0).
But, there is a lot more sky up there than there is the 4 feet or so between oncoming traffic on a 2 lane highway. All in all, I'll take my chances in the sky over those on the road any day when it comes to avoiding oncoming traffic.
