I'm convinced it's a societal thing. Americans are just not very smart. The wife and I travel in Europe and use the trains extensively.I look at all the futuristic inventions coming out every day.
Why do trains still kill people at the rail crossings ?

3 dead including child after Amtrak train plows into car on tracks in New York
A 69-year-old man, a 66-year-old woman and a 6-year-old child were killed on Friday when their car was struck by a northbound Amtrak train in Western New York.www.foxnews.com
I've stood on a lot of train platforms, looking at all the people, including small children. Everyone knows what the drill is and that you don't fuck around when it comes to trains. I've never seen or heard of anyone being injured or killed at crossings or on (off) of platforms.
