And that transition has been repeatedly tried, and abandoned, in less-demanding autopilot fields. Trains, planes and ships are all less computationaly difficult yet attempts to remove drivers from the equation have come to nothing. If it isnt 100% than it just isnt acceptable.

Paris metro line 14 has no driver in the trains. Madrid'd airport has a fully automated train shuttle between terminals. I have ridden both of them and they were quite successful removing the drivers on those.

Such trains are on short and closed routes above or below ground, or at least protected behind fences. They arent cargo-hauling trains crossing open country. Those all have crews.
