Well someone must pull that switch and push that cart. Only a highly trained professional from MIT can do it.
They had an auto tram that could carry everyone across the entire facility and was sophisticated enough to stop for a robotic auto loader.
I feel like it would have been trivial to ha e acomputer Controlled cart and, if they really wanted, a humanoid robot to press the button.
Or, you know, just hardwire it instead of placing a button within the risky zone.
You honestly believe they had the technology to run a pair of 18/2 conductor to that button?! I work in the industry, and frankly you're just being silly.
