But humans do make mistakes like that (driving into oncoming traffic or driving down a light rail track).
For example, here’s a case where a human did it to avoid an ambulance:

This guy says he was blinded by the sun:

Sometimes people are drunk:

These people, even the drunk guy, weren't cruising down the tracks without a care in the world. They either stopped on tracks or were pushed onto them.
I was skeptical about the guy who claimed to be "blinded by the sun" and searched for more info only to find that people get hit by the light rail in Sandy Utah with alarming frequency. Not even just in cars. Pedestrians, people on bikes, people in wheelchairs, I'm starting to think it's cursed.
