Autonomous subways are great for places like Singapore, but there are quite a lot of places where throughput is not an issue and where doubling the mass transit subsidies means hiring a second bus driver so the line can run every two hours instead of every four.

Someone mentioned in HN that a bus every four minutes is a very expensive subway train. I think I agree. I think this is the situation for most New York MTA buses at peak hour. These buses should be in a dedicated track on a subway, not sharing lanes with traffic.
