- In July 2024, The Bengaluru Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) initiated dynamic signaling tests for the first driverless train on the Namma Metro Yellow Line, which spans a 19-kilometer stretch from Electronics City and R V Road to Bommasandra. This significant development is expected to revolutionize public transportation in the city, with trains running at 20-minute intervals.
- In November 2022, Alstom SA, in collaboration with Lineas, a Belgian rail freight operator and ProRail, a Dutch infrastructure manager, demonstrated the highest level of automation, known as GoA4, on a shunting locomotive at Netherlands. This level of automation enables fully autonomous starting, driving, stopping, and handling of unexpected obstacles or events during shunting operations, without the direct involvement of any on-board personnel.
