Similar situation in Montreal. The new metro cars are fully ready to be automatically ran, but it's resisted by the union.

But if it's fully autonomous then they don't need the workers? So if they all go on strike, they can all be fired.

So is it not fully autonomous, or is there a law I'm not aware of?

You still have track workers, ticket takers, etc...
