We will see automated long haul freight trains eventually, as long as their is pressure to up safety requirements (human operators being the weakest link in that).
- protocolture 1y agoIIRC we had a train get loose without operators in Western Australia and they just remotely derailed it, like it was nothing. Remote control would have been preferable, the incident demonstrated to me that the remote operators have the steel in their spine to destroy the companies money rather than risk human life.
