    That’s not most trains. Those are highly specialized and constrained applications. There are already self-driving taxis in certain defined city areas, so they’re still ahead by that standard.

      I was in Barcelona last month and the metro was automated. Some trams in Switzerland too when I was there two months ago

      I’m not a city person but I assumed that was just normal now.

      Dunno if you’re from NA but if so just remember you might be a decade behind on public transport

            Europe has freight trains too.

            I don’t see why this is a point worth quibbling about. The “gag” is that rails are designed for self-driving vehicles, but most trains are not self-driving. It’s only relatively recently that any of them are.
