This article shows how the Netherlands have invented this freight train to travel up to 100 kilometers (61 miles) without a driver. However there are some cons to this automated freight train, the company would like to have someone there to press the override button in the unlikely event of an emergency, and that a person can have a feeling if somethings going to happen long before a computer can. Some of the pros to this is that the company doesn't have to deal with paying workers or take liability of employees. Hopefully the company will make the right decision for the betterment of everyone.
