All trains on the London Underground should be driverless, according

I suspect Bob Crow's analysis - that this is a bit of kite-flying - is
probably on the money.
The new signalling being designed for the Piccadilly Line involved
driverless trains.
If a train needed to be driven manually because of a problem, it would
be driven by someone sitting in the control centre looking at the view
from a camera mounted at the front of the train.
I don't know the current state of this project - it's been a couple of
years since I talked with my source on this.
