Self-driving subways do exist in a number of cities. But generally, train operator aren't a huge cost. While taxi driver serves 1-2 customers at a time, a conductor can easily move around a thousand people in a train. Or compared with trucks, freight trains can be ridiculously long and so paying one guy is really nothing in comparison.

I don't understand how you recognize that, but still blame them.
I don't ever want to trust pure algorithms or "machine learning" for my health. I believe there is just too much variability in humans, and the costs for outliers is going to be immense.

The train conductors wouldn't have any say in the operation.
I think most can see that what control towers are doing is highly automatable (It's a queue) yet the industry has sabotaged it at every turn. Because the jobs it will eliminate are the ones that need to verify the system works correctly.
A similar thing happens with train operators. We are busy setting up self driving cars, yet a self driving train is almost a trivial implementation that we don't do because the train conductors would never get on board with such a system.
