an algorithm is much better than a human. I imagine a future where no means of transport must and can be driven by a human. The most humans will be allowed to ride is bicycles.
It must be really hard to stay awake on a vehicle where you do absolutely nothing for hours. But is it mandatory to use the ATO or is it possible to drive the train manually? I know that in many subways the driver falls asleep, looks at his cell phone or listens to music, because he is unable to maintain passive attention for all that time, which is prohibited by regulations and in fact they often hit people without even realizing it, because they don't they can maintain attention. On a train it must be even worse, because the stops are far away and on a freight train there are no stops, so from the moment the train leaves there are no operations to carry out, in my opinion at this point it is better to definitively eliminate the driver and find him another job or give him a minimum income to live on, it makes no sense to keep a person staring at a windshield for hours without doing anything, because if he sleeps it's as if he wasn't there.
It totally sucks. Its like there is no driver inside. The driver is totally an npc. Its really sad that technology is really taking from people what they love to do, which in this case is driving.
@@SSogariusIs he sleeping? How can you notice an obstacle? Can the dead man device keep him awake? Wouldn't it be better to eliminate the driver, since he doesn't do anything, and use obstacle cameras?
