Who claimed the purpose of this project is anything other than a proof of concept and to push "awareness"?
Just like the rest of his family with all their explorations:
Auguste Piccard (aeronaut, balloonist, hydronaut) Jacques Piccard (hydronaut) Jean Felix and Jeanette Piccard (aeronaut, balloonist) Don Piccard (balloonist) Bertrand Piccard (aeronaut, balloonist)...
That's called transaction and is a good thing (except the part where it doesn't tell exactly why it failed). I'd hate if it would not behave like that.
They don't have to influence politicians, they have to influence the people to sign an initiative and then later to vote for it (direct democracy) - 1/3 of them being on Facebook.
The two legislative organs have suggested two bans, but that's by no means the end of the story (remember, everything in politics is very slow in Switzerland, mainly due to their direct democracy approach and the fact that there's no concept of a president there to speed things up):
a) ban extremely violent games for anyone under 18 years b) ban extremely violent games for anyone, as well as the possession, production and sale thereof
a) is well accepted and b) is highly controversial, but unfortunately made it through nevertheless. It is very unlikely that the executive will implement b) though, in fact it's even unlikely it will implement anything as there are laws banning "cruel" violence already (with a rather high bar though, considering all the horror movies making it through), and beside being too controversial, b) is in fact considered not to be implementable as it would require a constitutional change which is unlikely to happen. Even then, there would be various ways to block it if enough people agree and enforce a vote on it.

Yes. In addition, every train is also examined automatically before entering from either side (at full speed):
Using a temp sensors near the track to check wheter any brakes or wheels are heating up (risk of fire or brake failure)
Using a laser scanner from above e.g. to verify that no tarpaulin has loosened (risk of getting into the catenary)
