I would be very happy to see automated trains, I often see an immediate jump to tackling the hardest cases in engineering before thinking about simple and efficient solutions. Almost everything about the Japanese rail system is something I want to see in the US

Railway operation in Japan is indeed excellent and worth emulating.

However, busier services are very much dependent on human operators. Both on-board (2) and platform-side (half a dozen).
