Airplanes do have a few more degrees of freedom and are technically much more complicated than locomotives.</span></p> <p><span lang="EN-US">And at least freight railroads have a conductor on the locomotive.</span></p> <p><span lang="EN-US">In Germany the surplus firemen were used as assistant drivers on fast trains (87+ mph) until 1996. From there it was driver-only trains, even the HSR trains. </span>But Germany already had PZB and LZB.<br /> Regards, Volker</p>
