> worth a change in regulations? Why? The regulations are there for a reason. In Netherlands the rail safety system has to be heavily improved before automation is possible. What apparently is the cause of the outdated safety system is that the system was (when built) ahead of its time, but nowadays other systems are much better. They're now going to test with automated trains on specialized goods-only train lines. In this case the regulation is there to ensure safety. If improvements cost a lot it'll have to be spread out over multiple years, or e.g. not automate away drivers. What's to me seems utterly strange is immediately jump to just allowing such changes and assume regulation is the problem.
