London Unveils New Driverless Subway Trains

Posted by samzenpus on from the running-on-time dept.

MikeChino writes London just unveiled its next-generation subway trains — and they're sleek, 100% automated, and WiFi-equipped. UK-based design studio Priestmangoode teamed up with Transport for London to develop the trains over a period of 3 years, and they feature open and airy interiors inspired by aviation design.

    Clearly you don't live in Britain, otherwise you'd understand how polite and accommodating we are.

    If there are no seats, ask a fellow passenger if you can sit on their lap. They'll usually oblige, unless they have a very good reason.

    Try it the next time you visit.
