I'm not ignoring it, I already said that you can have a mechanic or another crew member taking care of it.

Front gun is it, then.

And if it's not expected, it also eventually will be part of systemd.

There's also babies around, they might as well also drive the train for a while. Both them and drivers have higher accident rates that automated systems, after all.

Yes, I know the lemmy meme, but that's about tesla autopilot, where the driver always has the responsibility anyway. This is about self driving cars.

Those same computer repairs can be done remotely. Or you have a mechanic on board for repairs, just not driving the train.

Besides, trains already have a dozen crew anyways, serving drinks, checking tickets, etc. No need to risk lives when we don't need to.

So how many lives is this "what if" worth? How much can a driver "quickly do" if a train breaks down, anyway?

The text in her bubble is obviously changed, but I do remember this strip.

Sure, my point is that as rare as they are, there are human error accidents that could be avoided if we switched to self-driving trains (and they proved safe). They are already in use at airports and commuter lines.

There was very nasty train crash in Spain a few years ago because the driver was speeding and the train derailed.
