    Other thing to add to this is that there’s just one or two people in the train providing service for hundreds of other people or millions of dollars worth of goods. Automating those people away is simply not economical, not even in terms of the headcount replaced vs headcount that has to be hired to maintain the automation software and hardware.

    Unless you’re a techbro, who deeply resents labor, someone who would rather hire 10 software engineers than 1 train driver.
