    I’m not sold on “driverless”. Even if it’s being monitored 24/7 by some dude in Brussels or whatever, there’s really no substitute for having someone PHYISCALLY on that train, in control, in case of an emergency or something.

      There’s been driverless subway for decades though, if it’s intracity travel (which seems the case here), then it makes sense.

      Maglev doesn’t, as many pointed out
