40. Years.
So yea it is a solved problem from the perspective of living in an area with a large metro that has been fully automated for as long as I’ve been alive with very few failures and zero of these “serious issues” you think happen.
They were able to do it here with 40 year old tech, it should be easier and cheaper to do now
And it is easy when you are on rails in a controlled grade separate environment compared to automating cars/whatever Tesla is failing to do with cameras alone
And you say it’s not metro but people here are acting like the Tesla loop is “metro” and can compare/be better/cheaper then real metro by “just have multiple tunnels”
