Poor initial implementation combined with fear.
The DC Metro used to have a semi-autonomous mode that's been turned off for years since there was a glitch that caused a crash.
- jandrese 9y agoThe "glitch" was decades of deferred maintenance that left sensors inoperable along the line. Theoretically now that the SafeTrack initiative is complete they should be able to return to semi-autonomous operation, but I doubt it. I'm not expecting the DC Metro to go autonomous anytime soon either. It's a huge jobs program for inner city residents. Basically a commuter tax for a social program.
