I would like to see all forms of transportation automated as long as it is proven safe. Trains have to be one of the easiest to automate since it runs on a track. If Google can automate a car which needs to avoid potholes, idiot drivers, construction, snow, rain, etc, I think we should be able to automate trains.

Google hasn't done that (yet). http://googleblog.blogspot.hu/2012/08/the-self-driving-car-l...
