Well the cars come out of the tunnels and go to the stations---also cars themselves have inherent risks of combustion/catastrophic failure, all of which are far greater than trains.

cars stay in tunnel until service ends. they're next to the parking lot so none of that street specific crashes apply but even if it did, no other passengers are hurt.
trains cars don't have catastrophic failure? derailment? again you're ignoring what applies to trains

Specifically here, with these outside stations. You can see that there are tons of points where pedestrians cross right in front of Teslas, and the Teslas even engage with traditional cars along this point.

what does this have to do with anything? where's your data that pedestrian crosswalks at car station loops have lots of injuries?

It is obvious if you look at the layout of those stations. You cannot really get to the center collection point without crossing the road. We don't have data on injuries, but I expect them to be fairly comparable to ride sharing in general.

"you expect"
again lots of guessing and no actual proof. your hate for elon clouds your judgement.

You are doing the same thing---my "Expectations" are based on actual data of cars and assume it will be several times safer than that, just not 30 times. Your "Expectations" are taking Elon's statements at face value, when most of his statements are demonstrably wrong.

except you just admitted there is no data. and i just explained your data is not comparable to tunnels. your expectations are baseless

Not at all, you can assume it will be safer than normal cars on streets---but not many orders of magnitude times safer. There isn't data but you can't hide behind that because everything points to this system being many times less safe than rail.

assumptions can be wrong, sure. doesnt mean what you assume is correct. your assumption is just a guess.
if there is no data, there is nothing to point that it is or is not safer.

The burden on proof is on the one claiming their system is orders of magnitudes safer than everything else. Not on the people who look at similar ride sharing systems and assume that the system will be similar to that one, vs. SIGNIFICANTLY better on the scale of rail.
