You have to lay tracks for a tram though, means changing the route isn’t that easy. Self-Driving buses would actually be more efficient since you could alter the route on a hourly basis if you wanted optimized by traffic and destinations required.
All that could be easily automated, but you lose that if you have a physical track you have to run along.
I don’t want to waste any more tax money trying to make one of the least effecient modes of transport more autonomous. Just build an electricrfied tram if thats what you want.
Roads really need a standard for sensors specifically for autopilots.
GPS and cameras reading lines, signs ,and lights aren’t good.
Or just fund public transportation instead :)
Autopilot buses could use this too.
Or just buld a tram that rides on rails. More effecient and no need to over engineer an autopilot system

Eventually a great idea, but that’s not rolling out particularly soon.
