driverless trains

Self-piloting metro cars

Driverless trains are railway vehicles that operate without a human driver, using automated systems for acceleration, braking, and navigation.

They range from fully autonomous metro lines to partially automated systems where staff remain onboard for emergencies.

The new airport shuttle uses driverless trains that run every three minutes.
