[SystemSafety] underground trains without drivers

[David Haworth]

Part of the Nürnberg U-Bahn (U2 and U3) is driverless.

Some of the trains have a "service operator" on board who is
a qualified driver, but who acts more like a guard. Other trains
are fully driverless.

I think U1 still has drivers.
