Rejected petition Begin operating completely driverless trains on the entire London Underground

Driverless trains are a reality in many advanced cities in the world.
Many of London Underground's lines are already able to be operated remotely. The DLR has been operating driverless since 1987 with an impeccable safety record.
They would be able to operate 24/7 for London without strikes.
