all the recent discussions and controversy around auto pilot and it made me wonder if there is anything to be learned from the OG self driving car, the Amish horse and buggy. I grew up in a community where the Amish were quite prevalent, and there is an old and popular saying when an accident involving a car and a buggy happened that "it was the horses fault". not sure of how often horses walk into passing trains but I'd assume it's not very frequently
