The other instinctively tries to dodge hard right. Either would have worked, but instead you've run straight into the deer. Also, for city driving, replace 'deer' with 'person' and the results are the same. There's no time for coordination between drivers in split-second reactions like that. When flying, there's usually a lot more time and things tend not to jump out right in front of you (except for birds, at least, and there's isn't much you can do about that.) | |

| May 26, 2022 at 21:39 | comment | added | reirab | @Vikki Do those even exist? Simultaneous control inputs from two different people in a car sounds extremely dangerous. A fraction of a second of unexpected control inputs and you're run over by a truck or you've driven into a tree or concrete barrier at highway speeds. Airplanes tend to be much more forgiving than cars about fraction-of-a-second control inputs, except maybe when landing (and, I'd argue, probably even still then.) Airplanes react much more slowly to control inputs than cars do. | |
