Industrial transformation and the path to autonomy

It is hard to believe a bullet train is piloted by a human in the cockpit. Would you let this person take over the train at 300 miles/hour?

Countries are aware of their inefficiencies; according to a study by the International Monetary Fund, countries waste about ⅓ of their infrastructure spending due to inefficiencies. As digital technologies are integrated into business processes and workflows, McKinsey estimates that could lead to a 2 percent productivity boost, on average, per year over the next decade.
