Not nearly as complex a problem as self driving cars, but I'd still rather not get hit by a train
- endisneigh 6y agoMy understanding of trains is that most of the safety advances have come from better signaling, not the automation of the trains themselves.
- anyfoo 6y agoYes, not nearly. Not anywhere close to the complexity needed for self driving cars. Trains run on closed, limited, well-signaled infrastructure, which (comparably) makes it fairly easy to "avoid other trains" (as long as the signaling, coordinated externally, works--if it doesn't the train is likely programmed to just stop until it does again).
