Visit to Twyford Waterworks.
Used in the Funton Works of the Redland Brick company in Kent.
Very powerful due to its worm gearing.
Operated by remote control, driverless.
The Hitachi Rail Italy Driverless Metro is a class of driverless electric multiple units and corresponding signaling system. The trains are manufactured by Hitachi Rail Italy (formerly AnsaldoBreda) and Hitachi Rail STS (former name Ansaldo STS) in Italy. The first system to use this class of driverless electric multiple units was the Copenhagen Metro which was opened in 2002.
The rolling stock consists of four articulated cars which operate on standard gauge. Each car has a power output of 210 or 256 kilowatts (282 or 343 hp), fed from a 750 V DC third rail. The systems are fully automated, consisting of automatic train protection (ATP), automatic train operation (ATO) and automatic train supervision. source: Wikipedia

Autonomous Shuttle Pilot Project - Joint project with UDOT and UTA to evaluate advanced transportation for last mile shuttles and small scale circulators
Free automated people mover serving downtown Miami. Small driverless cars run on elevated guideways. Loops downtown area and has two branch lines.
This is the newest subway line in Paris. It's super-nice. It's got all the latest technology - platform-edge doors, fully automatic (driverless) operation, etc.
The driverless trains on the Muzha line offer nice views. The subway line is also the only one in the world I know off that includes a 90 degree turn around the block....

INSPIRING IDEAS: THE DRIVERLESS CITY
The increasing deployment of sensors and hand-held electronics is rapidly turning the vision of the driverless city into reality. Successfully deployed, the driverless city will transform transport infrastructure, congestion, and many other facets of urban living.

"The Post Office Railway, known as Mail Rail since 1987, is a 2 ft (610 mm) narrow gauge, driverless underground railway in London that was built by the Post Office with assistance from the Underground Electric Railways Company of London, to move mail between sorting offices. Inspired by the Chicago Tunnel Company, it operated from 1927 until 2003.[2][3] A museum within the former railway was opened in September 2017.
"The line ran from Paddington Head District Sorting Office in the west to the Eastern Head District Sorting Office at Whitechapel in the east, a distance of 6.5 miles (10.5 km)."

Savvy governments in Asia are turning their cities into AI hubs. Singapore is promoting itself as a centre for driverless vehicles and fintech. New Zealand is reaching out to companies experimenting with autonomous drone delivery services, and China hopes to revolutionise the way the world works by using automation and smart machines. Nurturing AI-driven industries and business models could lead to tremendous growth.
How should governments regulate machine learning, considering the implications for privacy, jobs and traditional industries? Who should accept liability for mishaps? And how should governments use AI in their own functions to shed bureaucracy?
