Driverless trains?

[ZackCulross]

Hi guys

Just doing my usual surfing the Web and youtube and came across videos and articles off driverless trains and trams.
Seems to be on smaller lines.

Question is out of intrest whats everyone else's thoughts?

There is enough reading material there to keep you going for days

If you want to travel on a driverless train in the UK, get yourself to the Docklands. You probably won't see a driverless train on National Rail for several decades.
