I assumed that the train could just slow down a very little bit till it touches with the car to then slow down when they touch each other but that’s probably not how it works.

That sounds kind of dangerous … i know that the train and all the waggons have springs to dampen connection impact but … not sure how much those can take or how much the difference in speed/force of both sides can be without one pushing the other (in the worst case of the rails)
I am no means a train expert but that doesn’t sound that dangerous, only the relative speed matters and if it was a very small difference the wagons will eventually catch up and the impact might be noticeable but not fatal. But ig the emergency brakes would be a safer option either way.

It probably is very dangerous, yeah
