It's speed is also lower than many cars on the Autobahn at ~300 km/h
Granted, there's less of a risk of traffic in the sky than on the Autobahn
„many cars on the Autobahn“? Not really, i very rarely see cars going 300 km/h.
Even 200 km/h is exceedingly rare.
Going 160 knots (300 kph) in a C172 would be pretty rare and is nearly at the maximum speed of the airframe. Cruise is more like 115 knots or 210 kph.
