Driver less trains are entirely the way forward. And are safe! I was watching a documentary on Singapore metro system.
It's so advanced that all the trains sit in the depot at the beginning of the day. No driver or person required to operate them..
The signaller clicks a button all the interior cabin lighting lights up and train drives itself to get cleaned, then heads straight out onto the track ready for morning service.
Then at the end of the day if the train is due for maintenance without being told it will drive itself to the maintenance depot for servicing, same if it develops a fault train will terminate at next station then drive itself to the maintenance depot, and then another train comes out to replace it. Requires no attendants, no drivers as it is all automated far more advanced than the dlr even.. At night they even have trains that come out to clean the tunnels. Anything requiring manual intervention is done by the signallers
