Responsibility mostly. We could build driverless trains, but laws don’t allow putting the life of so many people into the hands of an AI that could fail and derail the train. Humans can too, but laws haven’t caught up to the level of technology yet. (Though some countries change that slowly, and some AIs already drive trains with the driver just being there to oversee it)
