I guess you are not real ex F4 since you are taking stuff from the movies.
Reaper and pred and the like do not self destruct as a safety method.

Cars can stop but have far smaller safety tolerances than aircraft. They routinely pass within feet of each other for hours on end with no height separation. It is an equally or more difficult problem to solve. They have no deconfiction system beyond staying on the right hand side of the road. They have no warnings. The turning radius and slowing distances are variable with weather.
