What's amazing is the thought of loading an automated truck up at a depot or factory, releasing it off into the wild and a few hours later it turns up at it's destination hundreds of miles away.

In 20 years or so imagine how many people will be out of a job because of it. Haulage drivers, taxi drivers, bus drivers and countless other service industry drivers.

You'll always need an employee on board with public transport, and someone that's trained to be able to take control when things go wrong. Even the DLR in London, which is completely computer controlled, always has a member of staff on board, who can take control and even drive the train if there is a problem.
