I wonder why self driving trains are more common.

[–] southerntofu@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 years ago (1 children)

Why they're not more common?

because it costs a lot more resources (environmental/economic impact) than to pay someone to press a few buttons
because it's very practical to have an actual human being "in charge" on board when something bad happens, if only to reassure everyone
because in our capitalist societies robotization is for the profit of the establishment, not for diminishing the suffering/work by the people, so unions are rightfully opposed to robotization of public service
