The discrepancy between the number of drivers required for trains and trucks is an interesting topic to explore.\nThis raises the question of whether it is time to prioritize and consider making trains autonomous before trucks.\nIf we embrace the idea of autonomous trains, it could lead to increased efficiency and reduced traffic congestion.\nAutonomous railcars that can be sent on their way when loaded would optimize transportation and alleviate congestion on highways.\nIt is important to rethink transportation autonomy and infrastructure sustainability to ensure that our transportation systems are efficient, sustainable, and beneficial for everyone.
