Sure, but do you wanna be the driver that now has to deal with having killed a baby?

The tram operator wouldn't even see that there's a baby inside.

The owner of the vehicle could petition the city's transportation authority and say "your tram killed my baby!" But as soon as the authority sees the details of the situation they should say "You parked a car on the tracks and left your baby in it?!? Dumbass." And stamp "DENIED" in big red letters.

Even if that person contacts a journalist, the headline should read "Dumbass tesla owner parks car on tracks and leaves baby inside. Baby dies."

There's no reason why the tram operator should ever have to find out there was a baby involved.
