Having five years of experience as a freight conductor definitely does not make me an expert, but single person crews would make me extremely uncomfortable between the rails. We all know the expression, "like a freight train," it takes a crew to safely move all that tonnage.
"Autonomous auto," then put me out to pasture and shoot me between the eyes, I drive with manual transmissions, with the top down when available, one of the few pleasures left from the old days long past.
