so that business owner is scared of Trains being operated by humans but not dump trucks being operated by humans? nice 1 sided reporting there. why not show whether crash statistics back up the fear of trains running "red lights"? no mention of the automated train that we have at the airport? no mention of the complexity of automating a train that interacts with traffic and pedestrians? also, please get the traffic engineer that you interviewed a better microphone lol.
Seriously underrated comment. These same people are afraid of autonomous vehicles even though Waymo has a safe driving record exponentially better than humans.
exactly. i think the point he was making is making them automated, i don't know if there's many systems if any that are like that in the world, you need a human driver for this type of system.
Sure but not light rail. Where there are conflicts and variable human behaviour that a machine wouldn't be able to predict. It's fine on dedicated track like your example and others. @@danieldaniels7571
It is but all the cities in the Valley only have the traffic signals programmed to run one schedule no matter what time of day it is. This is why in low traffic or nighttime traffic the light randomly turns red with no cross traffic. Or the light is running the entire duration of the cycle. Making you wait for the non-existent pedestrians.
@@garcjr out in Peoria, some light change between daytime and nighttime. On Thunderbird Rd in Peoria, from 83rd Ave to 91st Ave, pedestrians have a guaranteed walk signal going along Thunderbird, but only during the daytime. At night, they have to press call buttons to get a walk signal.
It's 2024, and we don't even have updated traffic lights yet. I still have to sit at a 2 minute red light while absolutely no one goes through the green.
@danieldaniels7571 yes, we can turn right on red unless there's signage saying otherwise. You can even turn left on red as long as it's a one-way street onto another one-way street. But you definitely can't cross an intersection on red, no matter what.
The train passes through Dobson Rd and another road in downtown Mesa called Robson Rd. The crash happened at Robson. In fact they had us get off at Dobson to transfer to a bus because of this incident.
