And _that_ is the reason automated vehicle technology is not worth having.  We could have a discussion on whether it has nett positive or negative benefit now, but I'm curious about the motivation(s) and culture of those proselytising it.

What is their eventual goal?  Is it just blind faith in the inherent worth of technology?  There are certainly more efficient, cheaper, and safer ways of moving masses of people between centres.
