Can I just say as an engineer who’s career is in product safety, if my boss came to me and asked if we could build a heavy freight train but replace the mechanical links with absolutely nothing but hopes, prayers, and wifi. I would rather just shoot myself
Whether or not it is safe depends on how stringent the safety measures are. Even physical links can fail in extreme circumstances, or with poor maintenance or improper handling.
Let’s wait and see what the testing shows. Let them have a trial run of the technology and count how many accidents happen. For now we can’t make conclusions if we don’t have any data, right?

no shame in admitting that Chinese engineers are superior
Oh yes. 50,000 tons moving at Mach fuck, attached to nothing. It’s a good thing technology never fails.
That’s right, absolutely impossible to come up with any safety measures aside from physically tethering train carts to each other.
Also not what I said. Cool interrogation bro
it’s pretty clear what you were insinuating here bro
That this is not a safe technology to employ in rail transport? I wasn’t IMPLYING that
