    Why they’re not more common?

    • because it costs a lot more resources (environmental/economic impact) than to pay someone to press a few buttons

    • because it’s very practical to have an actual human being “in charge” on board when something bad happens, if only to reassure everyone

    • because in our capitalist societies robotization is for the profit of the establishment, not for diminishing the suffering/work by the people, so unions are rightfully opposed to robotization of public service
