    What is the advantage of autonomous trains over regular? It seems to me that when driving a train is your job, the autonomy just takes it away.

          Reduced capitalism, increased socialism.

          Some capitalism is okay. But unfettered capitalism is not. We have the latter.

              Why does 50 years ago matter?

              It was definitely worse in virtually every way, nevertheless.
