There are lots of systems with at least some lines with full automation.[1] I've been on some. They transport lots of people. I never had a problem on the ones I was on.

I think if rapid transit is to take off and replace car culture (as a viable alternative), it needs to be affordable and has to go where people want to go. That means make BaRT more affordable and make it go more places --Van Ness, Geary corridors, go down to San Jose via El Camino develop el Camino down the peninsula for dense housing.
