In general it seems reasonable suggest that flying is harder than driving but...

Plenty of drivers have only had 10 or fewer hours of instruction, compared with a definite minimum of 45 for the pilot, not to mention the theory exams and an RT test. PPL Pilots tend to fly as a hobby, so they read quite a bit around the subject - how many people read about driving technique? (Car magazines are about cars, not driving.)
