    • 2021 February 10, Christian Wolmar, “Time to end this infatuation with driverless vehicles”, in RAIL, number 924, page 36:
      In the midst of all the chaos and uncertainty on the railways as a result of the pandemic, it is surprising that considerable sums of money and much time and energy is being devoted to the concept of driverlessness.
