Remember how town planners thought everyone would love big concrete tower blocks in the 1950s or how everyone would like a house that looked exactly like all their neighbours' ? Remember The Jetsons in the 1960s and the belief that by the end of the century (the last one) we would all have personal rocket pods?
No, exactly.
JonT's point about trains is apt - witness the struggle that's going on with the guards at Southern. In the whole of Europe there are 21 fully automated (GOA4) train services, of which many are just terminal transfer in airports. And that's trains, running on a fixed route with fixed stops, automatic signalling, in some cases only one vehicle shuttling back and forth on a single piece of track. And so on.
