While I get your point, I do think there's an important distinction: train lines are rare, usually far away from where people live, walk, bicycle, etc. Roads, on the other hand, occupy a significant portion of public land in our cities. It's not great that it's effectively a death sentence to be less-than-focused while walking home. You know the old saying "with great power comes great responsibility". The onus for being responsible is not on the pedestrian. It's on the person (or CPU) operating the multi-ton machine at speeds that can kill.

Don't know where you live, but in some country rail are include in the city... When I was Young I was using that track as shortcut and this was way too Dangerous. If you want live you use your brain and stop telling other to take responsibility from your own mistake. There's too many pedestrians involved in car crash, even if many country are agressive with speedup, most of the time these pedestrians was wrong. Same case apply for autonomous vehicule
