Left alone, they are but inanimate tools. Hammer control, to me, is driving the nail in properly without smacking any of my body parts in the process. Chain saw control takes a skill I have yet to master. Therefore, when I start one of those things up, I am very, very careful. With vehicle control, I have been rather lucky.
Gun control is different, though.
I learned about that as a child. That is, if one does not pay attention, line things up properly, and then gently squeeze rather than jerk the trigger, there is no telling where the resultant bullet will end up. And, gun control, of course, is making sure that projectile goes where it is intended to go. It's the same with an automobile or truck, actually. Because, obviously, I used or abused my vehicle inappropriately.
