What do you think about this?

I think it’s pointless letting it operate on a cordoned off stretch of pathway, stick it out on the road, let people, bikes, vehicles, potholes all get in its way and we will see how well it fucking does.
If they want autonomous vehicles, everything that’s on the road has to go autonomous.
And 6 foot high fences all along the edge of the paths to stop pedestrians walking out in front of autonomous vehicles causing the most to stop nd not move again. Cyclists would need their own lanes too and have a lot stricter enforcement of the rules of the road.
Any violation would be a €5k fine.

Driverless trains would seem like a reasonable stepping stone but, then, it probably wouldn't make financial sense given the ratio of drivers to passengers.

Those drivets get paid a fortune.
And you are right though, they should be the first to be automated. Parallel lines, stop at a station, doors open, doors close. Simple

Aer Lingus/British Airways can be as bad, for Heathrow check in is in T2 and when airside you walk to the departure gate opposite the bar in T1.
They have a driverless shuttle thing in Stanstead too... been there for donkey's years.
