Navigation systems may need to learn to warn of a railroad crossing

Bulletin

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is pushing technology companies to implement a feature in their maps that alerts drivers to a railroad crossing. This requirement has been on the table for several years, but companies have ignored it. Due to the still relatively frequent accidents at railroad crossings, according to the NTSB, it is necessary to enable this function for drivers, and so it invited the companies to comment. Apple ani Microsoft Google is considering how to include the feature so that its maps don't seem overly cluttered. Do you think something like this is necessary?

I think it would be great. These signs https://www.dopravniznaceni.com/Zeleznicni-prejezdy-b5422.htm guarantee safety, but it wouldn't be superfluous if the navigation also warned me.
