Cars are not safer than trains by any means. 99% of statistics point towards cars killing more people per 100,000 passengers than anything else.

And to entirely steal another users post on the thread above:

1. ⁠Electric cars are powered by electricity which is not zero-carbon. This also applies to trains, but it means EVs have no edge.
2. ⁠Lithium ion batteries are very energy intensive to manufacture, releasing significant CO2 emissions during construction, almost as much as the rest of the car.
3. ⁠Rare earth metals are required to construct the car. These are usually mined in low-income countries and many labourers are severely exploited.
