We've seen companies looking into high-speed trains transportation that will take people from New York City to Washington, D.C., faster, but France is taking it up a step: driverless high-speed trains. France's railway system, SNCF, said it's working on a TGVs (high-speed trains) that are autonomous, according to FranceInfo. The TGVs can also transport people to other countries, like Belgium, Spain and Italy. SNCF is reportedly working on a "drone train" project, which will be equipped with autonomous technology.
