Tldr: Take the train and be safe.
Rant: In the EU, you are 35x more likely to die from a car crash, compared to a train crash. The union has created the so-called Vision Zero program, which is designed to reach zero driving deaths by some arbitrarily chosen date in the future. And of course it talks about autonomously driving cars. You know, crazy idea, but what if instead of we bet it all on some hypothetical magic Jesus technology that may or may not exist by the arbitrarily chosen date and instead focus on the real world solution that we already have? But well, the car industry investors would make less money, so I can answer that myself. :(
Edit: Also, Musk is a Nazi cunt who should die of cancer.
Too bad I live in hell country. Where there are no sidewalks or public transportation just roads and we have facist dipshits bought out by big car companies. I would love to take a train or a bus but that stuff doesn't exist here and never will until we re-educate and remake America from the ground up. America is just too far gone at this rate to even want these public transportation services at all or even bike-lanes. Cities would rather destroy themselves for big top stores anyway and highways thinking they are a good thing only to realize that will ensure they will cease to be alongside their local businesses. I'm sorry but I'm forced to walk on the road and nearly get run over legally speaking with zero repurcussions from the driver side because I shouldn't of been walking on the road anyway.
I've never been in the USA. Is it really that bad? I've heard that the USA have basically eradicated their own culture, because they destroyed their city centres in favour of suburbs, which need to be subsidised constantly. And therefore, cities sprawl. Is that true?
98% true.
(The other 2% is historic districts and college towns.)
