  Obviously train safety systems should be formally verified and eliminate human error (only permit safe leeway to humans).But apart from the safety mechanisms, there is also the concept of securing passengers.What we know so far is that originally, cars weren't equipped with safety belts, until they were.Imagine a thought experiment: the trains are…
