I think a self driving train would be very workable. They have a defined track, sensors can easily test the condions of that track, trains have the right of way. When in doubt stopping on the track works.
On a road with wildlife, debris, pedestrians, potholes, unpredictable human drivers, weather changes, ice, snow, etc....
There is a lot for our early stages of sensors to recognize, digest, and react to.
Talk to the cattle guys out west about the auto brakes and rear sensors. Drive through a pasture of grass and try to back up in the grass.... ha.
Heck, the auto traction crap they put in the 4wd vehicles now, what moron thinks we want to disable the 4wd we bought and need here in snow and ice and mud country? The computer is told to degrade and idle any time we actually need 4wd.
Foolishness.
When driving in winter, aim to put 2 wheels on dry pavement and you can stop. No more tho, the auto traction now only allows the weakest least traction wheel to do any braking, I just slide through intersections, it don�t brake on the hard surface. Foolish.
It�s not all bad, lots of good too, and yes things will advance.
But they react and drive very different, sometimes in worse ways.
