I honestly doubt it, since the vast majority of crashes occur when there's something not working (e.g. signal won't turn to green, track detection system not working) - scenarios where driverless trains need human intervention anyway.

I got the joke. :)

Driverless bicycles!

Trains sometimes crash into each other. It isn't common, but it happens

Actually in my city a tram crashed on another tram literally two days ago. Also train hitting trains is a thing. But yes, trams and trains crashing into trams and trains because the tram/train driver's action sure is near zero compared to the number of trams crashing into cars because of the car driver's action.

Edit: so today another crash happened here, must be a shitty week for whoever insures these people:

I was going to comment that the only train I have personally seen hit something, hit a car.

They do

¯_(ツ)_/¯ I get your point but also I get their point, they are trying to make the data comparable to the data they are comparing too. It just so happens it makes them look better too.

As usual, Musk is most likely the one skewing the statistics.

His cars, whether on commercial "full self driving" mode (which it isn't, at all) or whether they're the commercial robo-taxis, have all kinds of driving and safety issues. Almost everyone other than Musk has very few issues.

Phoenix is a perfect city for trolley/tram lines. You have perfectly straight gigantic roads laid out in an uninterrupted grid. It would be quite easy to run rails down the middle of the streets.

The Bay Area which actually has some public transit? They’ve been active here before any of the other sites (although they allowed public rides in Phoenix earlier).
