German trains are not known for being automated. I'm sure you have some, but not as many as you think. No tram in the world runs crazy automation, they all currently have a human on board. Only grade separated trains run fully automated. There might be some automation on your trains, but it isn't fully automated.

Your second point is completely wrong: we have trains, and have been running them for more than 100 years. We have real statistics to show in the real world they are much safer than cars. Sure you can imagine anything you want, but when real science has real data why would anyone look at your imagined data.



I think you got the context of the second point entirely wrong, so it's better to read the comment to which it's replied. As I said before, my entire family are proud, satisfied users of the German metro & public transit system – and we are proudly anti-car. Nothing more to prove when we practice rather than preach.

As for the first, it would be worthwhile taking the AI-tinted driverless-only FSD glasses off, and re-read the original comment and response.
