It is very difficult to convert trains to run fully automated not because of the technology but because of unions that typically run the show. Don’t underestimate the power of the unions. They have decades of experience in getting their way.

Plenty of examples in the rest of this thread are talking about automated lines in France, which has some of the strongest unions in the world. So the idea that unions are what's blocking automated systems is crazy, at least if applied globally.
