trains, planes and automobiles all will be driverless before too long. God help anyone who may find enjoyment in operating any of them.

Source? From my research Concorde was operating at a profit, and was only struck down after the mandatory safety enhancements that were to be made after the one crash (that DEFINITELY was not Concorde's fault) created a financially unfeasible situation. |
https://thetravelinsider.info/2003/0411.htm
Quote: | Sadly, Concorde has not been flying full recently, and BA's first and business class traffic dropped disastrously on all its planes in March.
Some Concorde flights are rumored to be operating with less than one third of the seats sold, and many of the few seats that are sold are heavily discounted package deals, selling for less than half the full published fare. In such a situation, a Concorde flight is unlikely to make money. |
Quote: | A far-sighted airline would simply put their Concorde planes into storage - along with all the other many thousands of planes currently sitting idle in the desert - and then return them to service when economic conditions improve.
Alternatively, if they felt certain that there was no way that they could ever expect to profit from their planes again in the future, surely they'd then seek to sell them for as much money as possible to whoever else was as 'foolish' as to attempt to operate them |
There was already doubt by the operators about their continued ability to generate profit. The Air France incident wasn't the sole reason, it was simply just the final nail in the coffin. The final reason to call it quits, it had revenue issues for a while before that. ____________________ covent.gardens: lihp is my most favourite member ever |

Let's be honest, it's the dickhead drivers like the truck driver in this one https://youtu.be/y4bQBJ2Cfqk?t=18 that need to be replaced by AI ..
I'd still be interested to see how these cares cope with a motorcycle in front or beside them when changing lane rather than another car or larger object. ____________________ Honda CBF125 ➝ NC700X
