If you haven't seen the technical difficulties that crossrail has run in to then you haven't been paying attention. They've been talking for years about how complex it has been to integrate the 3 signalling systems in use at various points on the line, so I'm not surprised they want a human in the loop in case one of them gets a bit wonky.

Obviously no one can pay attention to everything - we don't have much additional capacity over family and work commitments, so phrasing things as though people are to blame for not knowing enough about a London construction project is worse than unnecessary.
- tremon 4y agoObviously no one can pay attention to everything But given that premise, should we not first do away with snippy comments like "why don't they just [..], it's not that difficult"?
- robertlagrant 4y agoThere's no need to do that first, no.
- LeanderK 4y agoWell it's maybe naive on my side to assume it, but it was an honest question. We automate a lot of things that are from my point of view way more complex and driverless subways exist for quite some time. So I don't get why it's not done.
