>Now they are actually in the process of automating the trains, which has been criticised by many as a vanity project. The DLR has been driverless, since it was introduced in 1987 ─ it is a working example of the paradox of automation, which states: the more efficient the automated system, the more crucial the human contribution of the operators. Humans are less involved, but their involvement becomes more critical. This will be the unwritten hard limit for the time-being, when it comes to implementing the levels of autonomy, irrespective of the condition of the rolling stock or wage costs, which are moot. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Docklands_Light_Railway https://www.citymetric.com/transport/one-picture-dlr-morning... |
