I don't understand why we have to do napkin maths to guess what's more polluting. There is countless research showing buses emit less than individual cars per passenger per km, self-driving or not.
And there's no reason buses can't be self-driving as well, if anything, them driving slower, on dedicated lanes and on fixed routes would make it much easier.
Most trains however have a space [0] at the end of each car where you enter and exit. That space can also have a toilet, bike storage, various (locked) train controls, sometimes even a few seats [1] where you can sit if your call will be a while.

The beige UI with orange accents probably refers to the design guidelines of Anthropic, Mistral, Microsoft AI and a bunch of other companies. They all try to use soft, non-threatening colours, and for some reason those two are a popular choice.
As a citizen of neither country, Chinese open models are in my interest more than US closed models. My only concerns is that if/when Chinese AI becomes more powerful, they too will have little incentive to make their best models open weights.
