Airplanes fly at mandated separation distances, are constantly under surveillance depending upon what Class of airspace, and have 3 dimensions to move in to avoid contact with another plane.

My comment is only regarding computer failure. It doesnt imply that the redundant systems is the only mitigation needed (or smarts needed). I agree that the autonomous car is a much more difficult problem
