I think aircraft are so safe in this regard because, essentially, they are required to use a single international collision avoidance system that is well defined. And modern cars have AEB systems built by vendors aiming for commonality to meet worldwide rules.
But train traffic systems seem to be a hodgepodge of different systems, perhaps locally grown and driven by the local vagaries of politics and rulemaking.
What a surprising inversion of expectations regarding safety.
