Train Wreck in Los Angeles
Saturday, September 13th, 2008 by FuzzAfter reading about the tragic train wreck in Los Angeles, I can’t help but wonder why trains aren’t automated, yet? It would be extremely simple to man every train that runs on rails by computer. Sure, you could have a human babysitting the computer, but the chances of a computer running a stop signal are less than with a human behind the wheel.
Sure, the unions wouldn’t like it, but it may be cheaper for the rail companies and safer for the passengers.
