The Sydney Daily Telegraph Newspaper ran a competition for 75 family passes to be won for a special trip on the Metro from Tallawong to Chatswood. I missed out but my sister won. So we went for a ride & I finally got to not only see one up close, but rode in it as well. (Yay!)

Hardly a day passes without some news about autonomous transportation. Apple, Uber, Waymo, Tesla, Ford, GM, Toyota – it seems as if every automotive and tech company has its horse in the race to bring driverless cars to the United States. And for good reason: driver error is a major cause of automotive deaths in America. But, safety is only one potential upside to autonomous vehicles. Traffic efficiencies, environmental benefits, and the potential for shorter commute times have all been touted as benefits.

 

On July 25 at the Brookings Institution hosted a full-day conference on how connecting vehicles to smart infrastructure will transform the future of transportation. Panelists at “Autonomous cars: Science, technology, and policy” discussed a specific type of autonomy: infrastructure-enabled autonomous vehicles. Engineers, researchers, economists, and government officials provided a realistic outlook on the current state of driverless cars.

The air taxi Cora has an 11 meter wingspan with 12 independent lift fans for vertical takeoff and landing. A single battery charge is enough for 100 kilometers of flight. It also has one large rear propeller, which allows the Cora to fly at a speed of about 180 km per hour at an altitude of 900 meters.

 

This model is suitable for using in the 3D renderings of architectural visualizations, traffic simulation, games etc. where it doesn't need to use heavy high-polygonal models.

Two new metro stations opened to the public on October 20, 2023, extending the metro line B to Oullins-Centre and Saint-Genis-Laval Hôpital Lyon-Sud, Lyon, France. The metro line B is now fully operated driverless with brand-new Alstom metro cars.

 

I paid a visit to theses new metro station with my French FOCA camera PF2B (year 1948). For the photo session, I equipped my Foca a normal lens Oplar 1:3.5 f=5cm lens. This lens, with the serial number beginning by 032, was manufactured in 1947 by the Optique & Précision de Levallois (OPL) French company, most likely in its factory of Châteaudun, Eure, France. The lens was also equipped withe with a generic 36mm push-on AUV filter a metal shade-hood.

 

I used also a special FOCA ever-ready bag made of a mix of strong military fabric and brown leather. This type of FOCA bag appeared as soon as 1945 and was price listed until 1954 but less popular and te other full leather bags. Exemplary in good shape is a rarity. The lens cap used here is a modern plastic 36mm lens cap Heliopan, Germany.

 

Due to a rather "foggy" finder, I used the Foca multi-focal external finder for the 50mm lense. The focus is almost impossible to evaluate using the internal range-finder that is, however, well operating. When necessary (distances bellow ca 5-6m), exact distances were measured using a LASER meter and reporting the value found to the lens distance scale.

 

The Foca camera was loaded with an Ilford HP5+ 36-exposure film. It was exposed for 400 ISO using an Autometer III Minolta lightmeter fitted with a 10° finder for selective measurements privileging the shadow areas.

After exposure, the film was developed using Adox Adonal (Agfa Rodinal). I wanted to develop the film at dilution 1+25 for 6min at 20°C to get a bit more of contrast but I was distracted and I prepared wrongly by routine a 1+50 that would have required 11min, resulting of an incomplete development and a quite pale negative. I realized my mistake while considering the film before complete wash.

 

I thought first that the film will be not usable and I was ready to return on the site for a second session. However, when digitalized it was possible to obtain acceptable positives views. Digitization was done using a Sony A7 body (24MP) fitted to a Minolta Slide Duplicator installed on a Minolta Auto Bellows III with a lens Minolta Bellow Macro Rokkor 50mm f/3.5. The RAW files obtained were processed without intermediate files in LR and edited to the final jpeg pictures.

 

All views of the film are presented in the dedicated album either in the printed framed versions and unframed full-size jpeg accompanied by some documentary smartphone Vivio Y76 color pictures.

 

About the camera :

 

This Foca PF2B is an early series (model-3 version-5 circa 1948) of the Foca PF2B 35mm French range-finder camera released in 1945. The PF2B model of Foca has the 36mm screw mount of all other Foca PF (PF standing for "Petit Format"). Foca camera's were constructed in France by the company "Optique & Precision de Levallois" (OPL) in the OPL factory of Chateaudun (Eure) starting from 1946. This factory still exists under the name of SAFRAN a French company producing aerospace devices and systems. This model of PF2B was originally without flash synchronisation. This one has been probably modified after sale with the double synchro X and FP that are still operating correctly (X synchro at 1/25s)

I thought at first glance this was the station ' skeleton ' going up, but it's too far down the road for that.

I think it has something to do with the train stabling area.

Found a long way from the NEC (Birmingham InternationalStation) / Birmingham International Airport was this MAGLEV vehicle on 9th September 2007 at Peterborough.

 

This was a driverless MAGnetLEVitation (MAGLEV) vehicle. In its place there's currently a different form of driverless vehicle (cable hauled - a Victorian technology).

Low height platform screen gates along the platform edge. Riding on the Disneyland Resort Line of Hong Kong's Mass Transit Railway. Operated with driverless trains, the line links the Hong Kong Disneyland theme park to the main railway network.

Copenhagen, Denmark. The Metro trains are driverless and automatic with panoramic windows in front. New and advanced - won 2008 a price for best metro system in the world. The trains are short but instead they drive often: every 2-6 minutes. The light in the tunnel is where the metro goes above ground outside the city centre.
