Well, well, well:

Are we talking great circle distances here? Road miles are invariably 20-40% greater than air miles, and how often do you have to leave the interstates to reach your destination? I doubt that these studies explore all the variables.

Is there some segment in which driving is safer than commercial air? I'm sure there is, but I'm also sure it's not LAX-HNL.
