Waiting for a link to drop out and inevitable collision, boom!Q: How many teething problems did the red rattlers, and the Tangaras, and the other trains have?
Answer: A shitload more than the Metro.
Q: How many testing hours and kms has the Metro had and worked fine for?
Answer: A shitload. I've seen the trains operating for the past few months.
But no... lets focus on the 1-5% of the time the system has a problem. I mean it's not like the regular rail system doesn't have regular failures and breakdowns right?
I have heard it was a circuit breaker that tripped at one of the stations, knocking out the wifi to that station, and dropping the train back into manual override. That's how they are designed to work. When they lose connection with the control room, the train automatically stops.
Hmmm I better ring up and tell the Chinese and Japanese and many other countries who have been operating driverless trains for decades now.
