Trams have drivers to hit the emergency stop.

You can get insurance to cover whatever you want. Normally it isn't cost effective to get insurance for small losses from a minor accident, but you can get it if you really want (you will need to see a specialty provider)

Bro no fucking insurance in the world covers nuclear power plants or similar things, they are "insured" by the country they are in.

There are autonomous trams and there is no problem in having a automatic system hit the stop either..

There are no automous trams. There are several automous metro systems.

you can get insurance for anything. That doesn't mean anyone does. For nuclear they don't find it cost effective soethey don't.
