gollark: What if we create AR glasses which blot out all people on tracks and in similar situations so nobody has responsibility?
gollark: I mean, a laser powerful enough to stop the train would probably create more problems for the people on the tracks than just the molten or vaporized or whatever metal.
gollark: The real solution is a very powerful laser. Not only will it slow down via radiation pressure, but when the front of the train ablates it'll slow down further.
gollark: That reminds me! AutoBotRobot function will be restored SOON™
gollark: Via WASM usually.
