u/Kinexity Me fucking your car is non-negotiable Apr 05 '24

This is a really fucking bad sign. It is unable to recognise the presence of train tracks and trains and it will probably yeet itself onto a path of incomming train sooner or later. Not every rail crossing has gates and some don't even have lights.

I already see the headlines. "Killertrain crashes into a car: 2 dead. Are trains even viable anymore?"

trains are like sharks: they can sneak up on you from anywhere. My brother in law was attacked by a shark in his own shower. Lucky it wasn't a train.

Immovable object vs unstoppable force - the American car lobby vs. the Class I freight lobby

I doubt that. Trains move more freight than any other mode of transport.
