The first look of what a new driverless light rail service could look like in Coventry has been unveiled.

Pod-like driverless light rail are no doubt futuristic and have some economical benefit, but I would hope planners would work out security details.  Small vehicles that hold few passengers can be places where thugs can assault and rob passengers and then flee before law enforcement arrives. One has only to look at BART's experience to see how that scenario worked, albeit on a mature system with larger capacity.
