SFMTA's train system in San Francisco is not only relying on humans to run it, but turns out that a floppy disk has been playing a key role for decades.
Thinking about cost effective solutions, like running it in an emulator on modern hardware with disk images instead of floppies. They’ve probably gone and spent millions on replacing working sensors and writing all new software though.
If they blow through a shitload of money and end up with a worse product then it will be easier to claim that public transit is worse than a metric fuckload more cars on the road.

Thin computing and VMs are still expensive migration, especially something this proprietary I’d imagine
