Seriously, do you actually believe a commercial airliner TRAIN will in in the near or even almost near future, say the next 50 years or so, be allowed to carry passengers without a qualified pilot DRIVER up front?

Well yes - how about right now in lots of places!

Plane or train?

Trains are quite different since if a system fails or there is a loss of power they simply stop instead of falling from the sky resulting in a sudden and deadly stop when it hits the ground.

You know about this, right?
