Raises a good point. So we should destroy those cars to make way for trams.

Trams that never brake because of the collective loss of efficiency that might happen. It's like the trolley problem except there's 50 people on the trolley and the amount of money lost by them being collectively late for work is worth the loss of life.

Add a giant “cow catcher” to the front of the tram, reinforced so that even the car brain with the most oversized pickup is at the same risk as the rest of us

no... 30s of red light for cars, every 60s, fixed schedule... no wasted time since the drivers already calculated it in :D
