A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Yeah, the reasoning seems to have been "Think how much we'll save on driver salaries! Plus, the computer will never unionise or cause a fuss about hours." That's the only arguments I can think of.
At the same time, I can think of several times I've been glad to have a human driver on the bus, mostly to do with obnoxious fellow travelers...
