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.
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)

This self-driving Cruise was stalking me all morning. I'm happy to report that when we met at an intersection it would wait for me to go through and not once was I run over!
The Dubai Metro (in Arabic: مترو دبي) is a driverless, fully automated metro network in the United Arab Emirates city of Dubai. The Red Line is partly operational, the Green Line is still under construction, and further lines are planned. These first two lines run underground in the city centre and on elevated viaducts elsewhere.[2] All trains and stations are air conditioned with platform edge doors to make this possible.

June 13, 2016. Cambridge, MA.
An audience of approximately 250 gathered Monday, June 13th at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for a forum exploring the transformative technology of autonomous vehicles and their likely impacts. The forum was moderated by MAPC’s Executive Director, Marc Draisen.Sponsored by MAPC and Transportation for Massachusetts (T4Mass), the event featured an expert panel from both the public and private sectors, and covered topics including: driverless car technology, likely timeframe for implementation, how driverless cars might change the role of driving and transit in our communities, and the role of government in the process.
