There's a ton of safety issues that can arise with driverless freight trains.

If you think those issues are bad, just wait til you hear about the safety issues that have happened with non-driverless freight trains

From what I’ve seen the danger comes primarily from the operating companies refusing to provide an adequate number of workers for the trains so the ones that are present are stretched too thin. So the issue isn’t driverless vs not, it’s adequate staffing.
