- Fricken 1y agoThe Vancouver Skytrain has been fully autonomous since it opened in 1986.
- rsynnott 1y agoThat's fully-segregated, though, right? That's a far easier problem than a tram, which typically has to interact with pedestrians and traffic. That's about the easiest type of transport to automate.
- BobaFloutist 1y agoFine, fine, you've sold me. We'll grade-separate them too.
- Gud 1y agoActually that kind of sucks. Much nicer when it’s easy to step on/step off.
