Comment on Road Trains get ready to roll

Comments

Road trains will share the road with everyone else. Just one car cutting in front can lead to a horrific accident. It will be similar to real train accident but more frequent.

Plus the feeling of control is very important. Flying is safer then driving, but numbers be damned, in a plane you have no control so it feels a lot worse then driving.

Citation? I'm not saying it's not true. I'm just curious if there are actually surveys of this. I've personally never felt a subway/tram/plane was any less safe because of lack of control so found the claim hard to empathize with.
