Demonstration of Waymo's latest autonomous driving tech. Already huge strides from 2 years ago.
Fuck that.
Conductor-free trains is as far as it should go.
You mean engineer free?
No, conductor.
Some airports already have this. Some sort of tram that's fully self-conducted and goes around different terminals.
The engineer drives the train...the conductor is typically in the body with the passengers on a passenger train....the trams I've been on don't have conductors.
So do you want self driving trains? Or do you want an engineer driving and no human in body of train?
I guess trains are different where I'm from. Here, we have a light rail with one person at the head, driving the train. He judges the speed, when to open and close doors, etc. I don't know if that's what you call a conductor or engineer.
I don't really WANT that conductor/engineer eliminated but it's about as far as I can picture myself being comfortable riding.
